Preeti Update

4/12/2020

 
The Coronavirus crisis has had huge implications for Nepal.The Nepal government has responded to the needs of those living in many remote areas without access to Primary Care Units or Hospitals and has diverted funds into increasing Health care at this critical time.
We understand that a hospital is now being constructed in the Umakunda region of Nepal which will serve those living in Preeti. Sitara, the NGO with whom we work has reported that the local government for Preeti is now reluctant to go ahead with constructing the Health and Birthing Centre at Preeti which had been planned. The Local Government had undertaken to fund a percentage of the Centre and ensure it's sustainability by providing funds for staffing. After careful consideration of the situation and following advice from Sitara and our Nepali directors, The Nestling Trust has decided to withdraw from the Preeti proposal and seek to establish a birthing centre in an area of need which does not have access to any such facility. This could possibly be at one of the Health Clinics already established by the Nestling Trust in Marbu, Bhirkot, Lapilang, Chilankha or Melung. Sitara and TNT directors in Nepal are currently in discussion with the local governments for these areas to determine which site would be of most benefit for the Dolakha area.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated to the Nestling Trust Preeti project, through the BigGive Matchfunding Christmas Challenge where we were able to raise a fantastic £20,095!
​
We are delighted to say that through your generosity work can begin in January 2020 to build and establish a Health and Birthing Centre at Preeti, a remote area in Nepal where currently 30,000 people have no medical facility. Imagine having to trek for miles across difficult mountainous terrain to find the nearest health post, sometimes arriving too late to help very sick patients.

We are enormously grateful for everyone's support, which has come from as far away as NZ, USA and Canada as well as many places in the UK and of course from our local supporters in Wiltshire. Thank you for all your loyal support, for believing in us and encouraging us in our work in Nepal. It is through you that we are able to make changes to improve the health and the lives of the most needy, disadvantaged and marginalised people - thank you.

Preeti - Cut off 8 months a year &  no medical facility!

8/9/2019

 

In a place where it's a struggle to survive TNT and SITARA  are working with the government to provide a Health and Birthing Centre. 
Snow and ice during winter months and landslides at the time of monsoons make access tracks/roads impassable for up to eight months a year in Preeti. Life is hard - even in the better months villagers have to trek for miles to reach a health post.
In March 2019 Subash and Bijen, TNT directors in Nepal, set off with two members of SITARA NGO to discover the extent of the problem. They found that 30,000 people live in this area and heard how lives are at risk everyday because of lack of medical facility.
In July 2019 TNT and SITARA returned to Preeti with an engineer to make a thorough assessment of land villagers have provided. Here TNT will provide 50% of funds needed to build a Health and Birthing Centre. It will be built according to the Governments earthquake plans and regulations and in collaboration with the local government officers.
This will be a huge undertaking for TNT, but the need is also huge and we are taking up the challenge!
​Please help us succeed!

A Team From SITARA, TNT And An Engineer, Travel To Preeti

2/6/2019

 
An engineer from Kathmandu, assesses land and costs for building a Health and Birthing Centre at Preeti.
 
The government recognising the need for health facilities in the remote areas, have agreed to give a percentage of the building costs.
​This is a National health initiative and the government has produced comprehensive plans for the constructio
n which include a laboratory, a birthing centre and a flat above to accommodate trained staff who will be required to relocate from Kathmandu.
TNT engaged in lengthy discussions with villagers, as well as community development officials, listening to their plans for the future, when they hope they might have medical facilities to reduce the hardship, suffering and needless loss of life, they currently experience.

30,000 people without medical facility and Birthing centre

14/2/2019

 
areRequests for help from the Development Committee at Preeti, led to TNT and SITARA making the journey to Preeti in the mountainous Ramechap district to see for themselves the extent of the problem. They found an area where 30,000 people live, where all access tracks and roads are blocked by snow or landslides making them impassable for up to 8 months a year, and where there is no medical facility and no Birthing centre. Lengthy talks with villagers and local government officials revealed that the hope is for a Primary Health Centre to be built on land villagers are prepared to donate. The need for medical facilities is without question. Much assessment work and proposals now to be done - watch this space!
