Our Projects
The primary aims of this Trust are to help in rural community development and conservation projects, disability projects, income generation projects and education projects.
Descriptions of recent projects are below. More information can be found by clicking on the titles.
Community Based Rehabilitation Service
CBRS works with disabled children by proving support networks, special equipment and training. They also work to combat general ignorance about disability in the wider community. Disability is an issue that has until recently been largely ignored by successive Nepalese governments and most development organizations. CBRS is now involved in training managers and field staff for NGOs and government organizations.
Supporting the Education of Nepalese Young People
The WMT sponsors a group of Nepalese young people to stay in education where they would not have been able to do so.
Environmental Camps for Conservation Awareness (ECCA)
ECCA now works in 10 schools just south of Kathmandu, promoting environmental thinking to school children and through them to their families and the community. We have also sponsored fledgling libraries in these schools.
Village Leather Training Association
VLTA aims to impart income generation leather training and skills to the Sarki people, the traditional leatherworkers, living in rural Nepal.
SRC runs a program of health camps and health education courses in poor villages and promotes herbal remedies as a cheap and effective alternative to expensive Western medicines.
