We, the residents of Mahakulung, Nepal, wish New Futures Nepal (NFN) a very happy 20th anniversary.

Since 2015, New Futures Nepal has been the largest donor organization in Mahakulung. NFN provided more than 3,000 tarpaulins to earthquake victims in Mahakulung for temporary shelters in 2015 and supported the rebuilding of two primary schools, Mahakulung and Janasudhar, which were badly damaged by the twin earthquakes.

At various times, New Futures Nepal UK provided food items to the Mt. Everest tourism porter families who lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Most importantly, the COVID-19 Food Bank was established in Bung with funding support from New Futures Nepal UK. From there, personal protective equipment, nutritious food items, personal hygiene products, thermal guns, and masks were distributed to needy communities, including elders, COVID-19 patients, health workers, and health institutions.

Last year, New Futures Nepal UK sponsored warm winter tracksuits for 1,000 students of Chheskam Secondary School. This was a huge relief for the students, their parents, and the entire school community during the hardships caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, with the help of New Futures Nepal, a 2,000-watt solar battery was provided to Mahakulung Community Hospital, which had been facing power outages for some time.

Currently, New Futures Nepal UK is funding the salaries of two teachers at Chheskam Secondary School, as well as uniforms for five primary schools in Mahakulung Municipality.

The people of Mahakulung express their heartfelt gratitude to the entire board of trustees of New Futures Nepal for their continuous humanitarian support and for bringing positive changes to their lives.

Once again, Happy 20th Anniversary, NFN!
