LET’S HELP THE CHILDREN OF NEPAL!
Help keep kids warm and healthy in Nepal this winter! From December 15 – January 15, drop your unneeded winter clothes at the Karmaflights office in Lakeside, Pokhara, Nepal or donate funds for the purchase of clothing, through the link below. We will deliver your clothes to needy kids in mountainous regions in Nepal.
Every winter, hundreds of people in Nepal die from exposure, due to lack of warm clothing and insulation in their homes. Thousands more, suffer tremendously in the cold.
The situation is particularly desperate this year. Many impoverished families have to face their second winter living in temporary shelters; lacking funds to rebuild their homes post-earthquake. Particularly at risk are the very young and very old.
There is something we can all do to help alleviate this suffering. Karmaflights will be collecting clothes in our Pokhara office, to distribute to high-altitude villages, in earthquake effected regions. We will also be accepting donations, to purchase new warm children’s clothing. Your donation of $50 will fully equip a child to stay warm and healthy through the winter to come. Click here to make a fully tax-free donation.
