Project 2: Food for the Poor Nepal
Mani Bhadra BV distributes freshly prepared meals to the poorest of the poor living on the streets of Kathmandu.
Currently, a complete and nutritious meal costs €1.50 per day, including distribution costs.
Believe me, people are so grateful! For people living in extremely poor conditions on the streets of Kathmandu, receiving a hot meal not only guarantees their survival, but also offers the hope of being cared for and supported.
The number of meals we can provide depends on the donations we receive. No matter how much you can give, it will make a difference. To ensure this aid reaches everyone who needs it, local volunteers choose a different location in Kathmandu city from which to distribute meals each day.
