The calendars - for which we are asking donations (minimum £10),  are available from:
Market Lavington Post Office

Alternatively please contact Sue Hamblin 07973414601
We would be most grateful if you could support this fundraising idea, the calendars would make great Christmas gifts!

Remember - The Big Give! Donations to the Nestling Trust given between 1st and 8th December '20 will be doubled!
Our project will provide work for those families who have lost livelihoods due to the Coronavirus and help ensure sustainability for the Sarangkot Nestling Home for children who have suffered unspeakable traumas and abuse.
The Nestling Trust with Alliance Nepal NGO intend to create protected Pit Greenhouses where crops can be grown without being destroyed by monsoons and other adverse weather.
The children will enjoy organic, nutritious fruit and vegetables, and the surplus can be sold locally with profits supporting the Home. It will also provide opportunities for the children to observe and learn skills of horticulture.

2/7/2020

0 Comments

 
The Virtual Summit of Everest has been reached, and there is still time to donate!
​
​On 30th June '20, Nepalese prayer flags flew high in the wind to greet the team's success as they made the final push to reach height of the top of the highest mountain in the world.

The High Hopes team with members scaling Strawberry Hill 145 times and our NZ team members scaling Rangitoto and surrounding hills, all through the month of June, have each hiked 8848 metres! This is a great achievement and The Nestling Trust thanks the whole team for their determination and efforts, over £8000 has been raised, an amazing result, to help reduce the spread of Covid-19, and to support the vulnerable communities in Nepal. We are immensely grateful to all who have taken part in this remarkable challenge, all those who have supported us along the way, and to those who have donated, your generosity will help save lives.

The Everest Virtual Challenge - Help Save Lives In Nepal.

Come and join the High Hopes Team!
'High Hopes' is a group of Nestling Trust supporters who are taking up the Challenge to Hike or Run the height of Everest, 8848 metres, or the height of Everest base camp, 5363 metres, during June 2020. The aim of the Challenge is to help stop the spread of the Coronavirus to vulnerable communities of Nepal.
Choosing a hill near to their home, the team will test their endurance, test their resolve, and test their sanity, all to raise funds for the Nestling Trust, so they can provide vital medical equipment and supplies to 5 Health Posts and 2 Covid-19 isolation areas in the Dolakha region of Nepal, as well as soap, for families without.
Anyone from anywhere in the world is welcome to join the team! All you need is a hill or flight of stairs - email: [email protected] if you would like to join 'High Hopes' and raise sponsorship - together we can help some of the worlds poorest communities and save lives.
Time is running out to help stop the spread of the Covid-19 virus to vulnerable communities in Nepal.
This pandemic is an unprecedented global disaster. It has already overwhelmed many European countries, and thousands of Nepali workers who have lost jobs are returning to their villages from Kathmandu, India, China, and the Gulf Countries.
Nepal reported 14 Covid-19 related deaths this week and 3762 identified cases of those tested. Lack of testing is a source of deep concern and given the speed with which the virus spreads, and the frail infrastructure of the country, Nepal could be facing a catastrophic loss of life, coupled with malnutrition and hunger due to loss of jobs and livelihoods.
Health posts in Nepal are doing all they can to help identify those who may have the virus but lack essential equipment. Some areas are several days journey away from any hospital or doctor. Isolation areas are being prepared but are also woefully short of equipment such as oxygen and even running water.
The Nestling Trust, a voluntary UK Charity, is providing urgent medical supplies such as protective gloves, aprons, and masks to 5 Health Posts in vulnerable village areas, and has already contributed £4500 for this purpose. Each area has a current population of approximately 6000 people. Health Post nurses are teaching villagers the essential measures of self-distancing and effective handwashing and provide soap for the needy.
It is vital that any cases are identified as swiftly as possible. The Nestling Trust, with their partner NGO in Nepal, is in a position to help, but desperately needs funds.
The Nestling Trust will provide:
1. Vital protective medical supplies for Health Posts.
2. Equipment for isolation areas being prepared for those with symptoms, such as blood pressure monitors, infrared thermometers, personal hygiene equipment, tapped buckets, oxygen
3. Soap, rice, and lentils for needy families.
Help is needed now! Could you help to make a difference and save lives? Every penny donated to the Nestling Trust is spent directly on the projects.
Thank you
£5 buys 2 x nasal cannula
£10 buys 2 x oxygen masks and tubing
£20 buys 400 x surgical masks
£25 buys a 25kg sack of lentils or rice
£30 buys 4 x water containers with taps for handwashing

£50 buys 550 x pairs surgical gloves
£100 buys soap for 500 families for handwashing

Himshikhara, our partner NGO, is organising tailor made 'Treks with Purpose' through the magnificent mountains of Nepal, passing through picturesque Nepalese villages and culminating in watching the sunrise over the Himalayan mountain peaks. For those who wish, there is an option to spend three days taking part in a community volunteer project such as helping paint a rebuilt school classroom, connecting water pipes or creating a play area for children etc. The treks will help fund the running costs of Sarangkot Children's Home for needy and trafficked children. A reasonable, general level of fitness is all that is required.

Burns Night - and what a great night it was! The Nestling Trust welcomed guests with sprays of heather, then 'Ode to the Haggis' with the traditional piping in of the Haggis delighted everyone who then enjoyed the 'tatties, haggis and neeps'! Pipley Ceilldh Band were amazing and dancers thronged onto the floor to dance the night away. The Nestling Trust would like to thank everyone who helped to make it such a fantastic night including all who came to support the event. Nearly £2000 was raised - an amazing result!
We would especially like to thank Fiddington Nurseries who again supplied all the shrubs and trees making the  Community Hall particularly beautiful for the event.

Proceeds will help fund the building of a Health and Birthing Centre in Preeti, Nepal, where thousands are without medical facilities in an area which is cut off by snow and ice and landslides during the winter and monsoon seasons

  • We are excited to say The Nestling Trust has been selected to to participate in the 2019 BigGive Christmas Challenge. The BigGive is the largest matchfunding platform in the UK.

    Our project this year is the The Preeti birthing and health centre project will bring maternity services, health care and health education to very  isolated village communities (30,000 people) in Preeti and surrounding villages in the Ramechap region of rural Nepal.
    For the first time poor and disadvantaged families will be able to access local safe and hygienic birthing facilities, ante and post-natal care, and general health care - including immunisation, wound care, treatment of acute illnesses, and contraception
    Health education, vital in reducing neonatal death rate and preventable illness, will be a key element of the project. Local nursing auxiliaries will be trained to work in the community and schools. The new facilities will be built in partnership with local non-governmental organisations and in line with Nepalese Ministry of Health requirements.

     This year our Big Give target, to complete the first stage of the project, is £20,000 

    Donations to our project will be matched for 7 days from 12 noon on Tuesday 3rd December '19, to midday on Monday 10th December '19. 
    ​

    Please add a note to your diary - we need your help to make this project happen!

    So ….. One donation, twice the impact!
    A donation of £5 will be doubled to £10 and could buy a stethoscope and blood pressure monitor. Give £10 and it will be doubled to £20 to provide a drip stand, a fully stocked first aid bag, or a stretcher. £30 when doubled would cover the salary of a trained nurse for a month. With £100, doubled to £200, the trust could pay for the nurse for over 3 months  


    Watch this space for more information and links to make donations.

The BigGive - Christmas Challenge!

14/8/2018

TNT needs pledges - these will be matchfunded! 

We are asking businesses/companies/organisations to help us establish another clinic in the remote village of Melung.

The Big Give's Christmas Challenge helps UK-registered charities like the Nestling Trust, raise funds for their cause. 
Matched funding comes from a mix of champions, (philanthropists sourced by the Big Give), and pledges from supporters. This means that public donations made during the Christmas campaign will be doubled or possibly tripled!
Since the Big Give was launched in 2008 the Christmas Challenge has raised over £90 million for thousands of Charities. For more information go to www.theBigGive.org.uk.

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 healthcare at all, and people have to carry patients on their backs, trekking for many hours or days to reach medical care.

TNT has already successfully established four clinics in collaboration with the Ministry of Health in Dolakha, serving altogether over 20,000 people.

Now please help us to do more - Melung village also in Dolakha has a population of 4573 people. They need access to antenatal and postnatal care, immunisation programmes, chronic and acute illness and disease management, wound management, family planning etc and health education. We can do this, together we can do this!

  • Pledges need to be made before 31st August '18 and amount to at least £100 each -  The Christmas Challenge 2018 will run from midday Tuesday 27th November – midday Tuesday 4th December, when donations to participating charities will be doubled.                                                                                                                        Thank you so much.

It was the perfect English summer afternoon. Our special thanks to Vanessa and Darell Reburn who welcomed the young and not so young, to come to their beautiful garden in Little Cheverell. Children of all ages delighted in cheering on their own special ducks along the shallow, winding stream and no-one fell in!
Tea, juice and homemade cakes made it a family afternoon everyone enjoyed, and the Nestling Trust would like to thank everyone who helped in any way. Our thanks also to all those who gave donations for clinic equipment and to help further our work in Nepal.
