Support Program – Feed Nepal
OUR CONTRIBUTION
How it became our mission
After the founder of A Neverending Journey spent 5 months in Nepal he came to realise that the Nepali are one of the most welcoming and giving people. At the same time they’re one of the poorest countries in the world. After volunteering and meeting the ladies from “Feed Nepal’, it became one of his missions to back the ladies as much as he can in a masculine driven environment. The kids need our help, but the ladies do too. More information about our team, the team of Feed Nepal and what your contribution can mean to them can be found on this page. Oh, and thank you for even being here. We know your time is valuable.

Introduction
We are A Neverending Journey running a support program for Feed Nepal. We are in full service and are volunteering for the sake of the kids and the ladies taking care of them. Feed Nepal is an NGO that primarily focuses on providing food for the kids at a school in one of the poorest regions in Kathmandu. If there’s more money, they can provide school uniforms and utilities. Why is that so important? It actually affects the attendance rate at school. Going to school costs money, and if they don’t have it, they rather let their kids be uneducated and put them to work. The parents choose short-term over long-term. Unless school doesn’t cost money. That’s where Feed Nepal stepped in and we’re helping.

Fundraising
You can always do a fundraising for these tiny ones. Just get in touch with us and we can always plan a call with the people from ‘Feed Nepal’. We’ll help you come up with a cool idea for fundraising!e always communicate with our partners from Feed Nepal and they ask for a ‘go’ on the things they need. They practically ask us; ‘can we use your donation for school utensils, to buy food, clothing etc… They provide us with heartwarming videos and pictures to show you and us what the impact has been.

Nutrition
The biggest share of the money goes to their daily nourishment. They are now getting served rice and eggs, of which many kids actually take the food back home to share it with their families. Let us make sure there’s enough for all.
Per month it costs approximately €2,50 per month per kid to provide them with nutritious food.
They went from nothing, to cookies, to instant noodles and now a proper meal as rice and egg. But they depend on people supporting them.
School utilities
These items vary, but one familiar ‘challenge’ is the children not having a school uniform. The uniforms serve as not being able to distinguish who can afford the outfit or not. Sometimes their clothes would even have private parts showing, which is dangerous. A share of the money goes to yearly school uniforms and utilities needed to attend school (pencils, books, notebooks etc…) The uniform consists of: shoes, belt, skirt/short, top, tie and handkerchief). The uniform only costs €8.75 per year.
Supporting the volunteers
They refuse to accept any salary as they only want the kids to be fine. But it is ran by Nepali women who are really working in service of the kids, but we want them to have a break as well. So of every donation/fundraising we want them to, first of all, earn a salary. Secondly, to go spoil themselves with a day-trip, a wellness or whatever they would like to do!
They love coffee, but a coffee is a big treat there that they only get twice a month because it is too expensive.

The artist. The goddess. Creating all the beautiful illustrations come from here. But there’s more. She brings in the vibe, the small details and the taking care. As an intern she’s learning from the best. [Guess who typed this]
