Bristol Charity Advent Calendar 2021, Day 22: Pahar Trust Nepal
Day 22 of our charity advent calendar showcases a charity that is helping to improve the poor standards of education found in Nepal’s mountain region.
Founded by two ex-servicemen of the Bridge of Gurkhas in 1993, Tom Langridge MBE and Chandra Bahadur Gurung, Pahar Trust Nepal improves education, health and sanitation facilities for remote communities in Nepal.
Their work is primarily focused in the mid-western Nepali foothills and the far-east of the country with an aim to build safe, durable schools that provide students with an encouraging environment in which to learn.
is needed now More than ever
In addition to school construction projects, they also work on many other projects in the area including water supply and sanitation projects, provision of sports facilities, school hostels, school extension work and renovation & repair works.
With half of the team based from the Bristol office and half in Nepal, the organisation has created strong ties between the countries.
You can support their work by donating here.
