We are proud to be associated with
New Futures Nepal.
New Futures Nepal is a UK registered charitable trust. It was established
in 2002 by a group of like-minded people who, having spent time trekking
in Nepal, wanted to give something back to the people of that country.
Disabled and orphaned children live a harsh life in this desperately
poor country (one of the top 10 poorest countries in the world).
Without regular financial support and assistance they are often reduced
to begging on the streets, living rough and are prey to unscrupulous
traffickers and drug barons.
The charity obtained UK registered charity status in July 2003 and
is numbered 1098661. They are a non-governmental, non-political and
non-religious organisation. The charity is engaged in raising funds
to provide assistance and relief and to support cases of need, hardship
and distress for Nepali children and adults worldwide.
 The charity is the main providers of financial support to two homes
for disabled and orphaned children and adults; one in Kathmandu,
Nepal and one in Kalimpong, Northern India. In these homes they care
for 32 resident children, 2 disabled adults and provide salaries
for 7 carers. They also support one-off projects providing shelter
for street children and aid for community projects throughout the
Himalayan region.
Two members of Office Problems Solved completed a trek in Nepal as
part of a group of 20 to raise funds for the charity. During our
trek we spent a day at the Hope Centre in Kathmandu and met the children
and adults at the centre. We are pleased to announce that our trek
party raised an amazing £43,000 for the charity.
