Sarita's present condition

Sarita comes from the very poor family. We met Sartia's mother who was alcoholic and her liver was badly damaged. She only got few years to live. She died about 4 year back. She has a father who works as a guard in an organisation. Sarita lives with her Sister and Brother. They are still young and have no income. They are surviving with their father income. 

My Small Help has been supporting Sarita since 2007. She is one of the most talented girl we have. In August 2014, she suffered from Meningitis and had to operate. My Small Help supported her for her operation. She couldn't go to school for more than 3 months. But still she manged to become first in the class. 

Nepal suffered from massive earthquake which destroyed the house where Sarita is living. They have now shifted to a new room. My Small Help help them with kitchen utensil, blankets, carpets and more.

Self sustainable Project to Govinda family

Govinda lives in Bhaktapur with his wife and 2 children. He is also HIV+ and needs regular health checkups which are expensive. They cannot afford for her daughter Rasna to go to school. My Small Help has been supporting her daughter Rasna Gosain from 2012.

Govinda has been struggling with his life. He tried different work but he could not earn enough to feed his family. Govinda has a good experience in furniture making business as his father had a furniture factory. He hired a space for the factory and started making low bed which is of 5ft by 3ft. He produces 10 beds in one lot. He had been struggling to buy raw materials to produce beds so he approached My Small Help (MSH) to make a contribution. After visiting his factory, looking at his dedication and the family situation, MSH decided to provide  £310 from which he can buy raw materials to make 20 beds. Now he can buy the raw materials by selling those beds and keep continuing and make some profit to feed the family.
