Our Away Giving collection for Julywill be for The Nepal Initiative. This is a charitable organisation that supports the welfare and economically disadvantaged children in Nepal, with a particular focus on child trafficking. There is practically no respect for children from the lowest caste in Nepal: the Badi. Many of the children are trafficked to brothels in India. A Christian centre has been set up with two hostels and a school in Kathmandu to care for the rescued children. Support is needed for counselling, educational needs, clothing and books.
As part of the fundraising, there will be available for purchase beautiful fabric squares sewn by the children. These can be used as small table covers.
