Urgent Appeal: Nepal

From Elisabeth and Richard Grant

Elisabeth is a fellow designer and good friend who knows the Nepal situation intimately from her contacts and friends on the ground and she has made this heartfelt plea for more help. We need to go deeper in our generosity (and pockets) and help the good folks of Nepal. She has provided all the necessary information in a handy PDF that she has taken the trouble to design. Please if you can, give a bit more. We thank you sincerely.

Donations and help is organised by NAFA who is a Brisbane-based non-profit, totally volunteer-run organisation, and has been supporting this area for over 15 years. In Tawal, NAFA has funded an area school up to Grade 10, funded a health clinic servicing 5 villages in the area, supported teachers and health workers’ salaries, water infrastructure, a micro-hydro system providing electricity to two villages and improved cooking stoves aimed at reducing wood consumption and eliminating smoke in houses. NAFA has also funded the replacement of classrooms in four nearby villages. NAFA executive officers spend a week there in November each year entirely at their own expense, monitoring funded projects and assessing new proposals.
