Making a difference in young people's lives - a family affair

By Anna McPherson | Project Leader

Dear Supporters,
Recently our Country Director, Jeroen van den Bergh carried out a reconnaisance mission with his family and visited some of our beneficiary schools for the 100% Project.  Jeroen, his wife, son and mother who was visiting from Denmark, saw some of the life-changing works carried out at schools.
Nirmala, Jeroen's wife commented, "It was an immense pleasure to observe some of our projects."
During their trip they visited a deaf school in Baglung to see the canteen and they also visited Ramrekha school to see the newly installed sanitary pit, in partnership with our dutch partners Wilde Gansen and Stichting Nepal.  The sanitary pit provides young girls with the opportunity to discard their used sanitary waste with dignity and attend school.  In remote areas of Nepal, the illegal practice of chaupadi is still practiced, where a young girl is ousted by their family during their time of menstruation as it is seen as something dirty.  During this time, young girls don't attend school and miss out on a high proportion of their education.
Our education programme with the 100% Project serves to educate young boys and men about menstruation, in that it's a healthy normal biological period during a woman's life and shouldn't deter their right to an education.
It is only through your kind donations that we can carry on making a change to young people's lives.
Namaste.
Thank you to Nirmala for the photos.
