We are making a real difference!
Although the project statistics show that we have only raised $113 of our $118,841 goal, we have been delighted by the generosity of a sponsor who has underwritten the expenses for this family over the past couple of years.
The goal of $118,842 does however remain as this a long-term commitment to support a special needs family with two girls that will life-time care.
What we can certainly celebrate is the success that this project model represents; and it is a model that we now seek to carry through into new projects that give single mums the support they need for their children to have the opportunity of going to school.
In sharing our abundance, we can give life to others.
I’ve seen firsthand the changes that this family has experienced as reflected in Raja’s words “Believe me, the change you have brought in those four girls is incredible and unimaginable. The mother is looking after the girls very well; in return, the girls are looking after their mother. An outstanding outcome for the mother, as previously she was only able to see the girls for a few hours each week due to heavy work commitments that she needed to support her girls.”
It is an inspiration to know that we can all make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves, and when we pool our resources, we can truly make a big difference.
Our ‘Family Home’ in Nepal is a long-term commitment that gives life and a home to mum and three girls.
And a simple sum shows how, together, we could secure this wonderful initiative:
Just $5 a week
from about forty sponsors
would cover all the expenses for this ‘family’
We create a better tomorrow.
An investment in ‘others’ is an investment in our future, for we are all in this together.
The reality of giving life to others, is an amazing way of us finding our own true sense of ‘life’. The delight we have in seeing that we can change the world is an empowering inspiration that gives us hope for a better tomorrow for all peoples.
Every gift makes a difference, and IGWR Inc. has no overhead costs so 99.52% of all monies goes directly toward helping this family in Nepal. We are a fully audited charity and all gifts in Australia are Tax deductible.
Follow our progress and share in the joy of giving.
We will be merging this project with our primary GlobalGiving project as our overall operations very much reflect a ‘family of families’ approach; and those we support feel a part of something we all share in together. So, please take a moment to look at our website and we’ll keep you informed of progress.
