a great film to watch and celebrate women's international Day!

22/2/2021

 

help make a real difference! 


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 Carol Trail brought Christmas cheer to our villages!

4/1/2021

 
Picture
The Nestling Trust wishes to thank the Ebenezer Baptist Chapel, West Lavington, St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Littleton Panell, The Benefice of the Lavington’s, Cheverells & Easterton, and Trinity Church, Market Lavington for so kindly donating the funds raised through The Christmas Carol Trail, to the Nestling Trust (TNT) to help further our work inNepal. The money will be used to help establish a Horticultural Project to help the sustainability of the Sarangkot Nestling Home for Children. The Home was completed and opened in 2018 by TNT for destitute/abused children of Nepal.
There are now twelve girls in the home aged between five and fifteen years. They live as a family and have settled happily. It is a joy to see them playing and laughing as all children should. They attend the local village school which is within easy walking distance, further down the hillside. The girls will benefit from the organic fruit and vegetables grown, and will also learn valuable practical skills necessary for when they have homes and families of their own.

TNT would especially like to thank Caroline Spindlow for all her hard work in organising the Carol Trail and of course, everyone who made such wonderful displays and all those who actually took part. It was wonderful to see so many people joining in the Spirit of Christmas as they sang the carols.
The winner of the trail competition was Wendy Gibbon and Ash Galloway, who received the festive hamper.
The winner of the best display was Jonathan Grew with Whilst Shepherds Watched their Flocks by night – a wonderful display in front of the “Green Field” complete with real sheep.
Best window displays were Phillipa Cox with: 'Do you hear what I hear?' and Ellen Nutall with: Silent Night.
Finally a big thank you to staff at Costcutters, Market Lavington Post Office and David Coxhead for displaying and distributing the trail leaflets and collecting the money.
The total raised for the Nestling Trust was £315 - our grateful thanks to all.

1 week until The BigGive Christmas Campaign starts!

24/11/2020

 

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.

How To Donate

Hike The Height Of Everest - Virtual Challenge

2/7/2020

 
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.

1/6/2020

 
Picture
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: info@nestlingtrust.co.uk 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

'Trek With Purpose' - Fundraising Treks

14/2/2020

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.

Thanks so much to all who donated - the Preeti project can begin!

10/12/2019

 
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

'Taste of Kathmandu'

17/11/2015

A sensational evening, over a hundred people watched TV Chef, Peter Vaughan give a demonstration of Nepalese cuisine and were served a fabulous three course Nepalese feast. Devizes Sports Club was transformed into a typical Himalayan Lodge restaurant bedecked with hundreds of prayer flags. Fiddington Hill Nurseries again supplied small trees and ferns giving a sense of the outdoors.
As guests arrived a silk skarf was placed around their neck  - a traditional Nepalese gesture of welcome, they were able to enjoy cultural music and were later entertained by a Gurkhar Piper who played Nepalese bagpipes to herald the start of the first and main courses.
The food was authentic and delicious - the evening was a huge success.
Over £2500 was raised to help further the work of the Nestling Trust in Nepal.
