June 25, 2015 newjerseyisntboring

The Homes of Hope Nepal project will be hosting a Nepal Cultural Night Fundraiser at Flemington DIY [90 Main Street, Flemington] on July 18 from 5-9. The evening will feature traditional Nepali dishes created by local chefs, as well as traditional music, dance, and art. The event is free to attend, and food is all you can eat for $10. All the proceeds will go to the Homes of Hope Nepal project.

After the April 25 earthquake, the Homes of Hope Nepal project began with the help of the Friends of Nepal – New Jersey, the Lions Club of New Jersey, and the Rotary Club of Branchburg. The goal of the campaign is to build 1,000 homes for and provide $50,000 in micro-credit loans to the people of Nepal. Along with these homes, the project aims to construct community centers and schools in Nepal. They will be working in partnership with a number of organizations in Nepal and America, to bring hope for a better future to some of the world’s poorest people.

About Homes for Hope Nepal

One thousand homes, Fifty thousand Dollars in Micro-Credit Loans

Following the April 2015 earthquake in Nepal, Tulsi Maharjan recognized that something needed to be done to help rebuild his home nation. Within the month, he brought together members of Friends of Nepal – New Jersey, New Jersey Rotary District 7510, and Lions Club of New Jersey to create the Homes of Hope Nepal Campaign.

The goal of the campaign is to build 1,000 homes for and provide $50,000 in micro-credit loans to the people of Nepal. Along with these homes, we will be constructing community centers and schools in Nepal. We will be working in partnership with a number of organizations in Nepal and America, to bring hope for a better future to some of the world’s poorest people.

We plan to visit every year in early April to help build houses and community centers. In April 2016, a fifteen-member team will embark on the inaugural trip.

In addition to construction projects, we will also plan to implement healthcare service, as well as farming and vocational training during the inaugural mission.
