Reaping Hope (RH) had conducted an assessment in the area for its project Sponsor a Grandparent Phase-II, where it was found that a lot of senior citizens living in the rural area were still living in tin houses. As the winter season arrived and the temperature started to decrease day by day, the condition of senior citizens have worsen. Their tin houses are unable to serve them well in the winter and they have little to keep them warm in the winter.
Januka Shrestha and Padam Thapa Magar, members of Reaping Hope Team, initiated a fundraiser raised Nrs. 60,000 for supporting the senior citizens of aforementioned locations. 40 doubled sized thick blankets (‘Sirak’ in Nepali) were distributed in Mandan Deupur (20) and Phatakshila (20) on 4th February, 2018. The primary targets for the distribution were senior citizens living without caretakers or guardians.
The distribution was done in presence of Ward Cairperson Mr. Bishnu Mani Nepal in Mandan Deupur. In Phatakshila, the distribution was done in coordination with local school teacher Mr. Ishwor Chaulagain.
