Your immediate and generous support, our very strong contact on the ground and formation our highly dedicated team of volunteers enabled us to provide emergency relief support for over 4,000 people. This includes providing more than 1,500 vulnerable children with relief food, face masks, sanitizers, and coordination with health facilities at the isolation centers and hospitals.

With the complete lockdown of four (4) weeks in Nepal, every hospital is over capacity; many Covid patients cannot be admitted due to a lack of beds and there are greater challenges concerning oxygen availability. Despite these many problems, from today we are able to support many vulnerable people and children, especially daily workers who have lost their jobs due to the long lockdown.

We are very excited to share this life changing stories by three high school students- Carter Bedford, Jasmine Coffee and India McDonald from Hong Kong Academy who put together fund raiser and raised over $7000 to support over one hundred students in remote village in Solukhumbu in Everest region with gift of school bags and winter warm jackets.

Here, we are sharing this Untold Story of how Trekking Porters, Guides and many other vulnerable family who lost their jobs from COVID-19 are affected in The Small World working communities in Solukhumbu, Everest area.

As you would suspect, this pandemic has created a critical situation of austerity and hunger since tourism and the work opportunities it brings has come to a virtual standstill here in Nepal.

We believe, Covid-19 is affecting everyone’s way of life globally and even harder challenging has been facing here in Nepal. It’s been over 50 days of lock-down. So far, 273 people are reported as positive for the virus, but thousands more are facing a much larger issue.

Economic, social, cultural, and geographic barriers exist in rural Nepal that prevent many girls from successfully reaching higher levels of education.

Growing up in her remote Nepalese village, located deep within the Solukhumbu (Everest) Region, Ngaki faced many hardships common among girls in Nepal who endeavor to go to school. The rural location of her village combined with the realities of her day-to-day life led Ngaki to wonder and worry about her future. She often doubted that it was possible for a girl in her circumstance to get an education.. More

THANKS TO ELLIE RAYMOND

The Small World is very happy to extend our sincerest thanks and deepest gratitude to Ellie Raymond, a high school student, for her exceptional efforts in supporting continued education for twelve (12) Nepalese children from the remote Himalayan village of Solukhumbu.

It’s our fifth year at the Himalayan Hope Home and with thirty-six girls now living here, there is more joy than ever as they relish life of security, love,and opportunity - free from the dire conditions and threats they once knew.

The Small World is committed to ensure all the children are in classroom and complete the full cycle of education specially girls in remote villages of solukhumbhu. We have made significant progress in delivering safe learning space by completing 20 earthquake safe classrooms and benefiting nearly 1000 students. Your generosity has paved a road to education to every one of those 1000 students.

The girls have formed four clubs, with guidance from Hope Home’s person “in charge”. In order to provide them with opportunities to demonstrate and acquire leadership skills, the girls are provided with autonomy to make decisions on club activities, to learn new skills outside of the classroom, develop their social skills, and learn time management by juggling several things – all skills vital to success.

The Small World organization founded the Himalayan Hope Home in Kathmandu as a child protection center that serves as a preventative strategy for children at risk. Children belonging to underprivileged communities who are in danger of precarious trafficking circumstances are provided a safe shelter, parental care, love, and every opportunity for their holistic development.

There is no doubt that slavery still exists in the world, and that it’s deep rooted and spreading at an alarming rate.

Modern day slavery exists in various forms, which includes slavery based on debt bondage, forced marriage, sale or exploitation of children, human trafficking, and forced labor. The whole world is fighting against this.

It’s out of order! One in three people around the world don’t have somewhere safe to go to the toilet. Indeed, poor sanitation is one of the world’s biggest killers: it hits women, children, and elderly and sick people the hardest. Every minute, three children under the age of five die because of dirty water and lack of proper sanitation. And, right this minute, around half the people in the world have an illness caused by bad sanitation.
