Children and Youth First Nepal - Fundraiser
We , Florence King , Sandra Palmer and Hazel Roy, would be incredibly grateful for your help. We would like to raise as much money as we can to send over to Children and Youth First Children’s Home/ School in Nepal to keep their food source as active as possible during this pandemic. We were honoured to volunteer for four weeks at CYF in 2019 and this school, and the wonderful people in it, hold a very special place in our hearts.
Haushala Thapa, Director of CYF (Children and Youth First: Nepal Registered Charity) explains their current situation:-
"Since the onset of COVID 19 we have 58 children and 14 staff residing in our school. We serve 3 meals a day to 72 people, and with the current situation globally a country like Nepal is severely affected. Nepal has had only 42 cases till 23rd April 2020 but being a landlocked country, much of our vital food supply chain comes via India where deaths from COVID 19 are rising dramatically. This is going to mean that the supply of food reaching Nepal is inevitably going to decrease and this will have a huge impact on organisations like ours that need to bulk buy staples like rice, daal, oil and flour. Every week the price of these staples rises and rises.
Running a residential school and having food supplies for a month is something we do routinely. But due to COVID 19 we need to plan to secure food for the next 3 months as soon as possible due to the unpredictability of the virus and the increasing scarcity of food supplies. While we are growing as much of our own vegetables as possible and have already instituted food rationing, we have to maintain a balanced diet for our children as many have suffered malnutrition in their early life and therefore have many potential health issues. To help us fund this unprecedented food expenditure we need your help."
We have been lucky enough to see for ourselves the incredible love and care given to children by the staff and we can vouch for the director, Haushala whom Hazel has known for 18 years since they were involved in an ILO child labour project in 2002. Some of these children have been rescued from begging, abandoned by the roadside, some are orphans whose wider family can’t look after an extra child. There are several family groups of mothers and children who have fled violent alcoholic husbands .
Most of these children have known acute hunger before. We don’t want them going hungry again.
More information about the school can be found here.

If you can help us at this challenging time, we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance for your kindness and stay safe.
