Last year The Nestling Trust High Hopes Team reached the virtual height of Everest by climbing up local hills - this year we aim to walk or cycle the distance between Tower Bridge in London to the Swayambhunath Stupa in Kathmandu. We hope to raise funds to provide medical care at this time of desperate need for families living in areas of Nepal where no medical facility exists. ​

TNT is delighted to offer our supporters the opportunity of a private screening of the internationally acclaimed film 'I am Belmaya' before release to the general public later this year.
TNT has teamed up with Sue Carpenter and Belmaya, co-directors, of this inspirational film to help support the empowerment of oppressed women and girls in Nepal.

Domestic violence is a widespread problem in Nepal. Despite laws against it, cultural, economic, and religious factors reinforce male dominance and female subservience so thoroughly that it is common for women and their children to be victims of violence and abuse with many being forced to leave their homes. Cast out by the husband’s family and no longer able to return to their birth family, women are alone with no means to provide shelter, food, or clothes for their children. The streets are their only option with all the risks of further abuse, trafficking, hunger, and drug abuse. It is common for children search rubbish dumps for plastic in exchange for a few rupees for rice instead of attending school.

.The Nestling Trust will use funds raised to assist a pilot programme aimed at reducing the number of women and children, facing life on the streets. Those who have fled domestic abuse, or single mothers, will be offered training in sewing skills so they can support themselves and their children.

8th March '21 is International Women's day - proceeds from the film 'I am Belmaya'  can help break the cycle of poverty and despair for women and their children in Nepal.

See it Online - anytime between the hours 6p.m. Sunday 7th March ’21 and 11p.m. Monday 8th March ’21 (Greenwich Mean time) choose at time to suit your Time Zone.

The Children’s Home Horticultural Project
‘Grow our own’ nutritious food, self-sufficiency, and sustainability
 
In a year when we have been unable to hold our normal fundraising events this 'Match Funded' Big Give Christmas Campaign  provides a great opportunity.
 
Please help us reach our £10,000 target
One donation Twice the Impact! 
 
The project will improve the sustainability of our Children’s home in Sarangkot by providing organic fresh fruit and vegetables for the Home and local villagers, as well as generating an income to offset other expenditure such as clothes, education etc. Land at the home is exposed to adverse weather and as a consequence crops in the garden often fail. Water supplies are scarce and unreliable. Fruit and vegetables have to be bought at considerable cost and at some distance.
 
The project involves building protected ‘pit greenhouses’ which will provide fresh produce for the home and local villagers but also training opportunities and work for those who have lost their jobs as a consequence of the pandemic.

Proposed site for the 3 Pit Greenhouses - below the playground area of the Children's Home.

Children's Home livestock would provide organic fertiliser!

Site of the Health and Birthing Centre at Preeti!
A huge thank you to everyone who donated to the Nestling Trust Preeti project, through the BigGive Matchfunding Christmas Challenge.
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.
Sue.

The Nestling Trust is delighted to say that today - the first day of the BigGive campaign, £1,230 has been donated to help us build a Health and Birthing Centre in Preeti, where currently 30,000 people have no medical facility. A huge thank you to those who have donated. That figure will be doubled through the BigGive. 
The campaign runs until midday on the 10th December '19 - please continue to donate our target figure is £20,000.

Mark and Nancy Reilly are walking the El Camino de San Diego de Compostella and now have just 35 miles to go! 
They are doing​ this to raise money for The Nestling Trust, to help fund the construction of the  Children's Home at Sarangkot for trafficked and destitute children - the Nestling Trust is immensely grateful for their tremendous efforts to support our work.
