Renewal of Cold Weather Tracksuits Continues Positive Change in Everest Region

With your generous support, we were recently able to fund more than 811 warm tracksuits for the comfort and wellbeing of students at Chheskham Secondary School in the Mahakulung region of Nepal. The tracksuits were sourced and presented to the students (who range from Early Childhood Development (ECD) to Grade 12) by our partners the Everest Mera Foundation.

The Everest Mera Foundation expressed their gratitude, telling us:

“This support will enable students to study comfortably in a warmer environment and will encourage families to keep their children in school. It will also make it easier for students to participate in sports and outdoor activities throughout the year.

This project is not just about providing clothes; it is also about raising awareness among families about the importance of education and hygiene. It is expected to reduce dropout rates caused by poverty, protect students from winter-related illnesses, and provide financial relief to struggling parents.

Hundreds of parents from low-income Everest tourism porter and farming backgrounds have expressed their heartfelt gratitude for this valuable support, which is bringing meaningful change to their children’s education and lives.

Together, we are building hope for the future generation in the remote Himalayas.”

The distribution program was attended by Mr. KD Remnising Kulung, Administrative Officer of Mahakulung Rural Municipality; Mr. Bidhya Raj Kulung, Chairperson of the School Management Committee; Mr. Kishor Kulung, former Chairperson of the School Management Committee; and Mr. Durga Bahadur Rai, Ward Chairman of Ward-3, Mahakulung Rural Municipality. They all expressed their gratitude to New Futures Nepal UK for its long-standing support to the school family.

New Futures Nepal continues to work alongside the Everest Mera Foundation to bring about measurable and important change in the Mahakulung region. With ongoing assessment and discussions on how to most effectively bring about thia change, we are excited to reveal coming projects in the region.
