Financial Support
PHASE Nepal, our implementing partner, employs motivated qualified Nepali staff to deliver services and training to the most difficult to reach poor communities in Nepal. Selection is purely based on capability and motivation, which is demonstrated by the fact that - in contrast to many small NGOs in Nepal, where nepotism is rife - our staff come from different caste and ethnic groups from 10 different districts of Nepal! Furthermore, more than 95% are female, which not only gives motivated young women a chance of employment, but also helps them to be role models for girls in the villages they serve.
The largest post of our expenses are the salaries for those highly motivated staff members, even though the salaries sound very small in our terms: £ 25 a month for a nursery school teacher, or £ 96 a month for a highly qualified health worker!
A relatively small donation can make a huge difference in Nepal.
Please see the table below for the costs of some of our activities:
