Even though the rescue and relief work has completed, Nepal still needs help to get back onto its feet. It remains one of the poorest nations in the world.

As the world moves on, there are long-term needs that

risk being forgotten as the media attention wanes.

The funds raised by Kathmandu INSIDE OUT, in

partnership with the Nepalese Society, are to be

used in long-term

rebuilding effort in Nepal.

A Trust Fund based in Singapore, set up jointly by Edwin Koo (KIO founder) and the Nepalese Society,

has identified three beneficiaries

Wildlife Conservation Nepal (WCN) has been helping the Evergreen

School students for years before the

earthquake. Located in Sankhu, about two hours

from Kathmandu, the community school has

lost half its capacity, as

the quake damaged one of its two building.

Today, more than 600 students are sharing cramped classrooms. Students who lost their families face the

prospect of dropping out.

WCN is doing all it can to

save a lost generation

which may no longer afford access to education.

The Trust Fund will allocate $12,000 (30% of funds)

to WCN to build a new school on the grounds donated by the former principal. It

will pay for part of the building cost. More funds will be needed.

In the last 20 years, Prisoners Assistance Nepal (PA Nepal) has

been helping rehabilitate children who end up in jail along with their convicted

parents.

The quake has destroyed the Central Prison’s main buildings. Prisoners Assistance Nepal (PA Nepal)

raced against time to evacuate the children.

More than 400 prisoners languish under makeshift tents, without a proper roof over their head. Even though they are prisoners, it is their right to have proper shelter. But

often, their needs are far from the minds of the government or the public.

PA Nepal continues to shine a light of hope for

prisoners. The children of inmates are

housed in safe environments so

they have a

second chance at life.

The quake has levelled many homes. Even though temporary shelters have been provided, help is needed to

rebuild permanent homes.

Non-Resident Nepalese Association (NRNA) has decided to help rebuild 1,000 homes for the most needy Nepalese. The

Trust Fund has allocated $16,000 to help in these efforts.

Only when Nepalese have a proper roof over their heads can they truly

start to rebuild what was lost to the tragedy.

We hope that the international community

continues to support Nepal in

its effort to rebuild. It will take

years, maybe a generation or two. But with your help,

we can give hope to

those who need them most.
