A Memorial to Eileen Lodge

Eileen was the lady who first invited Anna to set up Women Without Roofs. Nepal Leprosy Fellowship has just celebrated their 25th anniversary and produced a book to commemorate the legacy of Eileen.

Sometimes tricky situations can unite a team

WWR enjoyed another successful committee meeting today. We had some tricky issues to discuss and we hope we made some good plans to deal with them. I’ll write more about these issues in our next newsletter.

After monsoon ☔ and after Covid. A time for new beginnings?

Washing Habits

We have been taking part in research for The Washing Machine Project. Each of our ladies has been interviewed about how they currently wash their clothes. All of them wash by hand in plastic bowls. The findings are both fascinating and sad. On average, our women began washing clothes for their families at the age […]

Look at our new home!

Just over two weeks ago, our residential ladies moved to a new women’s home. It’s perfect for us and has fantastic views. Here are some shots that Bina took from the office on the first floor. The landlord at our previous home gave us notice a few months ago as he wanted to sell his […]
