Angela and Bob have a new roof!

Angela and Bob, our cows, moved in last week to Grace Women’s Home.  They look healthy and happy already in their new home.

HIV/Aids training

We are pleased to be able to take care of a lady with HIV at our Grace Women’s Home – her former husband transmitted the disease to her.  She moved in last week and we provided all the ladies at the home training and education about HIV/Aids and how best to take care of her.  Here they are discussing the issues.

Happy times at our new home

Isn’t this a great photo of our women enjoying each other’s company at Grace Women’s Home?

Our Home is Open!

Today, July 4th, our ladies moved into our new Grace Women’s Home on the outskirts of Kathmandu – we are so excited for them!  Three women, four children and our new home manager, Shubhadra,  have relocated and there will be more women arriving over the next few weeks.  We have 11 rooms for them as well as a kitchen and meeting room.

There are plans to set up a bio-dynamic farm on the land and we hope the women will be a strong support to one another – all of them have endured great hardship.

Our first residents

We still require some funding so if you think you could commit to giving £10/month to keep this home running then please get in contact: anna@wwr-nepal.org

Thank you!

Mission Statement

I have just added a mission statement for our new Grace Women’s Home to this website. You’ll find it here.

Grace Women’s Home Mission Statement

An Amazing Opportunity

We have great news to share with you; doesn’t this look like a beautiful place to live?!

 

We have been thinking of setting up a home to house our women for a while, and this centre is available for us to rent.  It is at the edge of Kathmandu Valley in an unspoilt and unpolluted location.

The benefits:

20 women could live there and provide company to each other; we hope to provide their meals too.  Unlike the rooms that they currently live in, there is running water and we will install a
back-up electricity source so that they won’t be plunged into darkness during the many powercuts.  The building is far safer in an earthquake than the delapidated buildings the women live in in heavily built up Kathmandu.

It costs £650 per month and so we are looking for 65 people to give £10 per month to make it possible.

Please consider if you can help us, as you know we are only a small charity.  Please e-mail Anna at anna@wwr-nepal.org if you can help.

We have also made a video about the project which you can view here http://youtu.be/iMYPSaSbjiI

Not only will your money be used to help to provide our women with a home, since we are renting the property from another charity called Restless Development (www.restlessdevelopment.org) they will use the funds we give them to assist them in their youth projects across Nepal – it’s a charity Two For One!

WWR now on Ebay

Sellers on Ebay can now choose to support Women Without Roofs through their sales.  Ebay gives the option for 10 to 100% of an item’s final sale price to be donated to charity and now WWR is among those charities that can benefit.

This is great news as all money raised by WWR goes to Nepal where even the smallest amounts go a long way; for instance just £10 can pay a woman’s rent for a month giving her a home.

To find out more, or to see the items that are currently on sale to benefit us please go to:  http://donations.ebay.co.uk/charity/charity.jsp?NP_ID=31320

As they say on ebay “Thanks for looking”!
