 Thank you so much to everyone who has helped The Nestling Trust (TNT) reach the match funding target, £16.000 - we are immensely grateful!
Although donations will no longer be doubled the campaign is not over and will help us establish the Outreach Health Education Programme in Nepal - the aim is to reduce preventable deaths where 1 in 30 children die before their 5th Birthday. Exceeding the target will also mean that TNT will be eligible for a BigGive award..

The bigGive - funds raised will help save lives in nepal

26/11/2024

 
 The Plan
The Nestling Trust (TNT) Is planning to provide a Health Education Outreach Programme to include the necessary resources in four remote village areas in Dolakha, Nepal.
Initial trianing will be given to members of staff from our Health facilities in Marbu, Bhirkot, Melung and Lapilang, aswell as the Female Volunter Health Workers (FVHW), at the Baiteshwor Health & Birthing Centre. Those staff will return to their village areas where they will then train up other staff to engage in Health Education sessions in schools, womens and community groups o raise awareness of simple choice/changes/skills that can be learnt and made to improve health and save lives. Topics will include Hygiene, Care of the newborn, Dangers of smoking, drugs etc

Situation
World Health Organisation 2020 estimates that in Nepal 66% of deaths are caused by non-communicable diseases, the highest being cardiovascular diseases. Two-thirds of all premature deaths can be linked to modifiable risk factors: unhealthy lifestyle & diet, poor hygiene, smoking, physical inactivity, alcohol/drugs etc. In the poor, marginalised communities of rural Nepal, villagers lack awareness of the risks, so suffer ill health/disability/job loss & have little knowledge of basic first aid. One in every 30 children die before their 5th birthday.
Outreach
The Health Education Programme will reach approx. 24,000 population in 4 remote villages of Dolakha. Unicef says health education is the bedrock of healthy communities. It's a process of empowering people to increase control over their health. HE sessions will help raise awareness of simple choices/changes that can be made to improve health and well-being, plus basic first aid skills.
We will be Training the Trainers - then Trainers will run monthly outreach community sessions plus the FVHW will be visiting families within their own homes.

Appeal for flood victims

As the flood water recedes in the slum areas of Kathmandu, the scale of devastation becomes clear. Shacks and frugal contents washed away, leave local families homeless, exposed to the cold and wet and at risk of subsequent disease. They desperately need shelter, clean water, food and dry clothing. Please donate today at : https://www.nestlingtrust.co.uk/donate.html

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

A Staged Reading

Oscar Wilde’s masterpiece performed in the glorious setting of West Lavington Manor house and garden.

First performed in 1895, ‘The Importance of Being Earnest: A Trivial Comedy for Serious People’ is widely regarded as one of the jewels of modern theatre. The script sparkles with witty one-liners and eminently quotable dialogue, and epitomises Wilde’s mastery of paradox and aphorism. The plot, revolving improbably around a play on the name ‘Ernest’, is gloriously silly, and the characters utterly charming.
The play is a staged reading (meaning it will be performed with scripts in hand) and a promenade performance (meaning we will move from space to space and seating will be limited). Our ‘stage’ consists of the Hall and garden of the stunning and usually private West Lavington Manor (As seen in Country Life), The Show will go on whatever the weather, so come prepared. We have assembled a superb - and unconventional - cast to bring Wilde’s most famous work to surprising life in a setting he would have adored.

Performances take place on Sunday 8th September at 2pm and 6pm. The grounds will be open to explore from Midday for browsing and picnics, (camp chairs are allowed but not in the house).
There will be a bar available.

Tickets £20 (includes a glass of bubbly) available from: https://tinyurl.com/earnest-2024. Or use QR code:

All profits from the performance will be donated to The Nestling Trust https://www.nestlingtrust.co.uk/

11/8/2024

In many remote village areas of Nepal, there are no doctors, nurses, or medical facilities. The Nestling Trust helps provide health care and health education in such places as well as providing a home and education for needy children. Sujan grew up in rural Nepal and knows well the lack of facilities villagers face. He is supporting the work of The Nestling Trust by running in the Berlin Marathon and we are immensely grateful to him for the effort he is making. Please click on the link, read Sujan's story, and make a donation for this very worthy cause.
Good Luck Sujan, and thank you so much!

Peter rabbit supports Nepal - in an English Country garden!

9/6/2024

 

What a great day at the West Lavington Manor Open Day Event yesterday. Our grateful thanks to Andrew and Jordi for organising such a fun, happy day in their beautiful garden.
The Treasure Hunt arranged by The Nestling Trust had a Nepalese flavour (literally). Components of Dal Bhat, the most famous dish of Nepal, were hidden in jars around the garden. Families had to follow cryptic clues to find the jars and complete a list of 12 ingredients to earn a dip into the Treasure chest for a chocolate surprise.
The sun shone and  Peter Rabbit strolled around the garden meeting excited children, with whom he shared sweets. No fear of meeting Mr McGregor that day!
Thank you to all those who came to support The Nestling Trust and our work in Nepal.
