After a high peak of COVID-19 cases in Nepal in May and June, we have seen the number of reported cases dropping since then. As of September of this year, according to a World Health Organization report, Nepal has received over 17 million doses of vaccine, and vaccination campaigns are currently being carried out nationwide. Although the situation is still dire, we are hopeful for a strong recovery from the pandemic.
Last year we managed to hit a huge milestone in the Women’s Enterprise Initiative project – we raised enough funds to support our first of three women in her education and training in earthquake resistant construction! This was despite our and our partner organization’s work having been slowed down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And thanks to a successful fundraising campaign and incredibly generous and dedicated individual donors and sponsors, we were able to reach our first goal for the Women’s Enterprise Initiative project.
Eventually, due to the pandemic, our partner organization’s work arranging the educational program for women in Nepal was temporarily halted. Now that things are starting to pick up again for them, we are waiting to send them the money we raised together for the project as soon as the program is fully resumed.
In the meantime, we don’t want to let the current situation stop us from continuing on our mission to provide a safe and quality education through our projects. That’s why we are now working hard backstage on some exciting plans for the rest of the year. As you may know, Giving Tuesday and Christmas are occurring in the coming months, and we could not be more excited! This year, we want to focus on helping you give love and support to others as much as you do to our organization. Are you excited?
