Handicraft Program

We are very excited about our latest venture for fund-raising. We are offering for sale beautiful Nepalese handicrafts that are typically made by women in Nepal. Through this program we are not only raising funds for the school, but we are able to help the women who are making the handicrafts. In many cases these women are widows or abandoned women who have very few means of support. Many of them were badly affected by the 2015 earthquake and the Pandemic, losing their small homes and means of livelihood as the tourist industry dried up.

Through our handicraft events in Canada, we have been able to support 8 schools by supplying exercise books, pencils and sports equipment and most recently, Internet access in one of the schools. There is an ongoing need for this support, as it helps the children do better on their exams and thus move on to high school.
