​This happy little boy is Krishna, now 9 years old, celebrating Tihar Festival with his friends at SERC School, Nepal. Six years ago he was unable to speak, stand or move his arms or hands. Rescued by the Nestling Trust (TNT) two weeks before the Nepal earthquake, he has been cared for at SERC School for children with special needs, receiving daily physiotherapy and speech therapy. He now can run, play and communicate in simple sentences and is independent in all activities of daily living.
TNT wishes to thank all physios and staff for their care, skills, and compassion. We also thank all those who have donated to the Nestling Trust making it possible for us to support Krishna

Great news - villagers have now received their second doses of the vaccine to protect them from the Coronavirus.

Could this be you?


We are seeking a Social Media Manager to join our small and friendly team of volunteers to enhance our social media presence across multiple platforms and spearhead our fundraising activities.


What we do
Founded in 2013, Wiltshire based, ‘The Nestling Trust’  brings much needed basic health care and health education to remote village areas of Nepal, where no such medical facilities existed before. It works especially in areas devastated by the 2015 earthquake, alongside local community groups, and in partnership with our trusted 'in country' non-government partners organisations. With its severely limited health service provision Nepal is highly vulnerable in the face of the 2020-21 Corona Virus Pandemic and our current focus is on assisting our health posts and village communities combat the spread of the virus.
The trust has also established and continues to support a home for destitute, trafficked or abused young girls. Completed in 2018 the home provides a caring and nurturing environment which, together with the provision of education, life and vocational skills, is helping transform the lives of those who have suffered unspeakable traumas and abuse.

The Nestling Trust is immensely grateful to Vanessa and Darell for hosting and organising  The Duck race afternoon in the their beautiful garden on Saturday 5th September '21.
The weather was kind and many families attended the event. It was so good to see many children enjoying being out in the sunshine and cheering their ducks along the stream. It was a very successful event raising £631 to help further the Nestling Trust's work in Nepal.

What are we doing?
Walk Run or Cycle 5415 miles, the distance between London and Kathmandu, to raise funds to help support the 5 Health Posts, established by the Nestling Trust, as they struggle to reduce the spread of Covid-19 in their local areas, and care for the sick and suffering, as well as providing food for the starving.​​
Why?
Nepal faces a humanitarian crisis. Cases of the Covid-19 Indian variant are spiralling out of control and the fragile Health Service is overwhelmed. Hospitals in the cities are running out of oxygen and are overflowing with people being turned away, and in rural areas thousands have no access to medical care.
Months of lockdown has caused loss of livelihoods and people face starvation.
Who?
The Nestling Trust and supporters are combining our miles as we 'hit the Hippy Trail' throughout the month of June - leaving Tower Bridge London on 1/6/21 and hoping to arrive (virtually) at Swayambhunath Stupa in Kathmandu on 30/6/21.

,We have arrived! The Nestling Trust Team has Hiked and Biked the 5415 miles - the distance from Tower Bridge in London to Swayambhunath Stupa, high on a hill in Kathmandu.
Nick, Claire and Sue climbed the final 365 stone steps leading to the Stupa this afternoon.

Patiala - also known as The Royal City or 'The Beautiful City', here is the Moti Bagh Palace and the Shree Devi Kali Temple.
However during our brief stop here we might simply purchase a pair of Patiala salwar, for which the areas is famous
and very confortable for walking in the heat!
Now time is of the essence so off we go again!

Seven people have died and many others are missing after flood water swept through various regions of Sidhupalchowk district on Tuesday and Wednesday.
