Nepal needs your help

With the devastation of recent earthquakes and their aftershocks, Nepal needs your help. 

The Women’s Foundation of Nepal is a women-lead organisation formed to support women who experience violence, abuse, and poverty.

Our foundation has set up temporary shelters to help those left homeless in the aftermath. We are distributing food, water, blankets, sanitary and medical supplies to 300 women and their families. We need your support to carry on this work – your donation means more supplies for more families in urgent need.  

Nepal is in crisis. Your support today will make a direct and lasting difference in these women’s lives, and the lives of their families. 

If you are willing to help, please visit the donation website: Betterplace.org

Dancing Class at the Shelter

Lorraine Pendleton from the UK visited her daughter, Hannah, which is currently a volunteer at WFN. Lorraine surprised the girls living at the shelter home with her dancing performances (Turkish and Bollywood dances). She is a dancing teacher back home and the girls were eager to learn new dancing steps. As dancing is one of their biggest passion they quickly learned the Bollywood dance, Lorraine was showing them.

After the lesson, it was their turn. The children performed all kinds of Nepali dances. And of course, the volunteers had to learn from them and concluded the joyful day with a typical Nepali dance.
