Kielder Dark Skies Run · 26 March 2017

The Bootstock Association is a registered Scottish Charity which funds educational opportunities for disadvantaged children in the poorest and most remote regions of Nepal. We are also the UK partner of Mitrata Nepal Foundation, a Nepal based NGO which supports underprivileged children.

Story

Hi,

As some of you know, Jude and Daisy are long-term sponsors of a Nepali brother and sister who were orphaned at the ages of 11 and 10. They're the eldest of 5. Due to our sponsorship they were placed in the Mitrata children's home in Kathmandu where they receive full board and education. Other sponsors ensured that all the siblings remained together. They are all doing really well. 

Unfortunately, as a result of both the massive earthquake and international politics, the cost of living in Nepal has risen dramatically. Poor old Nepal never seems to catch a break. Mitrata have had to raise the amount they ask from sponsors to nearly £1100 per child for the year. Sadly, this is a bit much for us to commit to until Chitra and Rangamala finish their education. That's where you come in... if you can spare any amount, please click on the justgiving link below and help us make up the balance between our usual donation amount and what is needed. We would really appreciate it.
