A Huge thank you to all who Supported us through the BigGive!
The Nestling Trust would like to thank most sincerely, all who made donations toTNT through the BigGive, to help us fund a Health Clinic in the village of Melung in Dolakha.
Our target figure was £10,200 but in fact we raised an amazing £18,118.75 during the campaign. We are overwhelmed everyone's generosity.
It means that as well as establishing a clinic at Melung, the Nestling Trust can now consider funding a further clinic in Preeti, an area of huge deprivation.
This area, high in the mountainous region of Ramechhap, has a population of 40,000 people. Many lost their homes during the earthquake and still live in corrugated iron temporary shelters. Snow falls between November and March, and the access road/tracks are cut off during monsoon time. There is no medical facility and a health clinic and birthing centre are desperately needed.
The Nestling Trust is able to help improve the health of families living in these remote villages of Nepal because of the wonderful kindness of people who encourage and support us – we are immensely grateful. The Melung clinic was inaugurated on 14th October '19, please see the video attached below. A week later it became operational. Thank you so much!

What a fantastic response to our campaign!!
We underestimated the generosity of people and are surprised but delighted to say that we have already reached our target for the health clinic at Melung! The match funds (of £5000) have been accounted for but we are still accepting unmatched donations, via the Big Give website.
Sue Hamblin has been out in Nepal for the past few weeks and has been working hard on a proposal for another clinic in an even more remote and deprived area. Needless to say any donations beyond our target will go towards this and other ongoing Nestling Trust projects.
Thank you so much to those who may have already given.

‘Imagine you had to trek 20 miles across mountainous terrain to have a wound sutured, receive antenatal care, or have your child vaccinated!’
This is the situation in many parts of Nepal ….. where a child is ten times more likely to die within its first year of life compared to a child in the UK
It’s fantastic that The Nestling Trust has been selected to participate in the Big Give Christmas Challenge 2018, the UK’s largest match funding campaign. (last year, thanks to generous supporters the campaign raised over £11.3 million for participating charities)
Our participation gives us a special opportunity to raise money for our project, to establish and staff a Village Health Clinic in Melung Nepal, bringing basic health care and health education to a remote mountain village, and a surrounding population of 5,000.
For the first time they will be able to access wound care, immunisation against infectious diseases, treatment of acute illnesses, contraception, antenatal and postnatal care without having to trek long distances.
Our target to achieve this is £10,200

Dolakha is a mountainous region of Nepal where remote villages were devastated by the earthquake in 2015. Thousands of people live in villages where there is no health care at all, and people have to carry patients on their backs trekking for many hours to reach medical care.
