532 families supported with emergency food parcels

During this period we have supported 532 families with emergency food parcels. These parcels will keep a family going for a month. Each package contains rice, oil, salt, lentils, chick peas and soap. 

Kalika's story

My name is Kalika* and I am 40 years old. My husband and I have two daughters and a son. I have a disability in my legs, so it is hard for me to work. Sometimes I wash dishes for my neighbour. Sadly since Covid I have not been able to work, and my husband has lost his job at the brick kiln. When lockdown started and we both lost our jobs, I started to think that God does not like poor people. That was when our anguish started. We were out of food and didn’t have enough savings to even buy one kilogramme of rice. When our small children started saying “we are hungry” we were in so much pain as we didn’t know how we could survive.

When we were out of options, I sold my earrings for 4,000 NPR (£25), which were a wedding gift from my husband. With that money I bought food to save my children’s lives, but it lasted no longer than a month.

Then I heard that there was food support coming and we received rice and lentils and beans. I cried because I was so grateful. I told the team that my stove will burn in my house for two days and we will have a full stomach without any stress. Before this support, we had more fear of dying by hunger than from Covid. From today onwards we will not have any problem with food. We know we can survive.

Thank you for helping us to save the lives of families like Kalika's. Your donation has gone directly to feed hungry families who continue to struggle in Nepal's lockdown. If you can give again to help reach our target we would be so grateful. 

Thank you
