Coronavirus is an unprecedented global emergency. Nepal, one of the most vulnerable developing countries, is now facing a catastrophe of immense proportions. The frail infrastructure means that health services will be completely overwhelmed and it is vital to support measures to help prevent the spread.
In the last 6 years The NestlingTrust (TNT) with partner NGO Sitara, working with the Nepal Ministry of Health has established five Health Posts in the mountainous region of Dolakha Nepal, where previously no health facility existed. Each health post serves a population of approximately 6000. Now it is vital to ensure these health post have the necessary medical supplies and equipment to help prevent the spread of the Covid-19. TNT has already provided infrared thermometers and protective equipment so nurses are able to check returning migrant workers and villagers for signs and symptoms of the deadly virus. Much more is needed to equip isolation areas, and supply food to those who have lost jobs and now face hunger. Hike or run the Height of Everest 8848 metres, or Everest base camp 5380 metres, up a hill near you through the month of June, and help the Nestling Trust fund medical equipment and supplies to help our Health Posts in Nepal reduce the spread of Covid-19.

The country remains in lockdown and people are urged to practice effective handwashing and self distancing.
Recent severe hailstorms damaged crops being grown at Sarangkot Nestling Home to help feed the children. Now thanks to the resourcefulness of Krishna and his friends from Alliance Nepal, a bamboo polytunnel is being constructed to help protect future crops from storms and monsoon rains. The Nestling Trust thanks Krishna and Alliance Nepal most sincerely for their hard work, especially at a time of such difficulty and concern due to the Covid-19 outbreak in Nepal.
The polytunnel frame is now constructed from bamboo grown locally. Krishna and his friends from Alliance Nepal have worked swiftly to erect this shelter to protect the vegetables, from the hailstorms and monsoon weather which is expected from mid June. It now awaits the polythene covering. Meanwhile the children have been very excited wanting to help plant the vegetables.
Huge thanks to krishna and Alliance Nepal for their hard work ensuring the children will have fresh vegetables in the months ahead. The children have been excited to watch the construction of the Polytunnel which now just needs the polythene covering. Already they have been helping Nirmala plant vegetables. Now is the time for planting in Nepal to provide food for the cold winter months ahead.

Today there are 191 Covid-19 cases, of these 57 cases were identified today, the largest number since lockdown throughout the country.
We have two types of test i.e PCR and RDT. PCR tests near about 19000 and From RDT 60000. As we heard PCR is real test. Testing is going on in all provinces. Mostly affected area is the Indian Boarder. Today's test found a nurse affected and a journalist. None in Kathmandu now. There are about 3 Million Nepalese migrant workers, mostly in Golf Countries. Now, as per the Online news many Nepalese want to get back to Nepal. Among those 3 million 407,000 want to return. 127,000 have expired visaa and need to return urgently. Right now nobody knows how they can come, but public is making pressure to government to bring those migrant workers back to Nepal. I think due to the lack of Quarantine places to keep the returnee migrants, it is a big problem for government to bring them. It is the same for Nepalese people from India, who are at the border - they are being held there, they want to come to Nepal. If Indian are on Nepalese Boarder Nepal is feeding them, and Nepalese on Indian Boarder, India is feeding them. After the completion of 14 days they do entered to the specific Country. Actually, due to the open Boarder, no record how many Nepalese are in India but it is assumed more then 2 million. Due to the situation, everywhere there is no employment, people have lost jobs and it is a big problem. As Covid-19 cases increase, the situation is becoming critical forcing the Government to extend Lockdown until 18th May. Already Narayani Hospital, one of the main hospitals receiving Covid -19 patients is struggling to cope. The hospital has just one ventilator! In developing countries, like Nepal, where so many rural areas are without any healthcare facilities the spread of the Coronavirus will be disastrous. The Nestling Trust is seeking to help equip the isolation areas in Marbu and Melung, which are woefully lacking in even basic essential equipment. (See photos below) Should anyone wish to contribute through the 'Justgiving' button on this website, we would be most grateful. Marbu nurses check people returning to their village from kathmandu
