The Team

IN ENGLAND

The trustees of WWR are all committed Christians. They have compassion for the women in their care, however they don’t just want to feel this, they want to do something constructive and positive to help the women.  Many are homeless, sick, outcasts, lack possessions, or hungry.  At WWR we seek to alleviate these problems with the help of our supporters, as here in the affluent West, many of us have the means to do something about the needs of such women.  In a nutshell, we wish to show the love of Christ to the people of Nepal.

Anna: anna@wwr-nepal.org

  Anna spent two years in Nepal with her husband who served with the British Gurkhas.  She believes God has given her a heart for the poor and has revealed some of his love for them to her.   She is passionate about encouraging more people to work to eradicate poverty and is currently studying for an MSc in Poverty Reduction and Development Management.  More of her story can be read on www.onelifesofar.org

 

Renee: renee@wwr-nepal.org

Renee spends at least four months each year in Nepal working on a number of projects and visiting our women.  She is struck by the inequality of their lives and ours in the West and works to help the women in practical ways.

 

 

 

 

Marilyn: marilyn@wwr-nepal.org

Marilyn has been to Nepal a couple of times and likes to have something to do.  She sees her involvement in the charity as her way of fulfilling Christ’s commission to us all to reach the world.

 

 

Nic: nic@wwr-nepal.org

Nic feels strongly about the many injustices that give rise to poverty.  He was originally a supporter and as he learnt more about the women and their situations decided he wanted to give more time to helping them and became a trustee.

 

Occasionally our supporters are able to visit Nepal, Jan writes about her visit here.

IN NEPAL

We have five staff in Nepal who are also Christians.  They do a fantastic job meeting, praying with and helping our women.

Bina

Bina has been with us right from the start and knows all the women and their situations well.  She wants to help her country of Nepal and this is her way of doing so.

 

 

 

Subhadra

Subhadra was originally one of the women that we helped.  She is a wise Christian and has been a single mother for a long time; her husband did not come to collect her from the hospital when her daughter was born.  Her daughter is now 19 and training to be a nurse.  Subhadra supports our newly single mothers, helps them in whatever way she can and prays with them.

 

 

Bidya & Shova

This wonderful couple, shown here with their daughter, run our sewing and literacy course in Kathmandu.  Bidya is the church pastor and his wife has a heart to help women.

Lisa

Lisa ambition is to help the helpless and she assists Bina in the smooth running of WWR.  She is always ready to assist our women and makes herself available to them as much as she can.
