Financial Summery
Although not actively raising money, we are currently looking to develop a new project for victims of natural disaster and those suffering with poverty, to put the funds we have to good use, due to a previous cancellation of a project by a local Nepalese Municipality Government, after its initial development (as previously noted). As soon as we can be back on the ground actively in Nepal our aim is to develop projects as volunteers with partners in Nepal in the next fiscal year, who will help pass the project through local government. Although not currently fundraising, we have had a charity income of £300.22. At the year end we are currently holding £ 22,807.41 , to be mostly used to directly help the people in need, and is being kept safe until a project is developed to invest in. Our only expenditure was due to £91.85 in standard bank fees. Trustees personally donate a higher amount so that this does not eat into the kind donations that have been given, this is our main source of income this year. We actively raise money only when there is a purpose and intended project for new funds to be spent, which is why we are not currently fundraising, and rather looking to further our charity’s current goals with the money we are currently holding, as we have no current operating costs as volunteers ourselves.
Further Information and words from the Chair.
The world continues to face challenging times globally. Climate change seems to have shocked the international community with intense disaster, especially flooding. Peoples struggles continue in Nepal due to disaster, which was affected but an earthquake in Jarjarkot District which we couldn’t get on the ground for due to our private struggles and death of a family member, my beloved mother. I deeply regret that we have not managed to help the people there due to personal circumstance of our small organisation.
On my return to Nepal in 2024 I was hoping to find honest local partners to co-ordinate our funds with us on the ground in Jarjarkot, and to my shock I was struggling to find interest in the Jarjarkot region and told that it would be politically very hard to help.
During this time and fast forwarding into the next fiscal year I am once again growing more excited for the future, but that excitement to be active is not without sadness for the victims of the recent floods in Nepal, the worst Nepal has seen in the last 30 years over the October period; a fierce end of the monsoon season. With this current flooding we are now in serious talks, which leads me to give more of a “heads up on our future”, rather than a reflection of the past.
We have currently been having meetings with Nepalese NGOs, but it seems to be a great concern the administration fees they are asking, which seems dramatically high (essentially between 20-25%) with little understanding on how and why it should be this much based our life experience here in Nepal. Some NGOs were asking for all project funds upfront, which is against our safeguarding. I have also been shocked how many of them also charge to volunteer with them. We have not found any of this to be in the ethics we hold dear, be beneficial or respectful to our donators or the promises we have made to them when raising the money.
When developing our school project we were to set up a Nepalese Trust including our lawyer in Nepal and the school directors for our official work to be carried out for the most cost effective way to work. We are now of the same thought to safeguard the funds. We are currently organising with a new Nepalese team that will honour our ethics and how we raised the money, some of whom have volunteered with us before and are keen to set up and officiate “Building Budland” in Nepal. We feel this is the best way to honour the donations and move forwards, as a larger team that will be able to honestly co-ordinate a plan with us and protect the valued donations we have collected over the years and keep the administration fees as low as possible. Without a good spirited partnership in Nepal with grounded belief in the volunteering and helping their own country it is impossible to carry out good, efficient work. Soon we will be stronger, more efficient and effective as we move forwards.
We are currently visiting the Roshi Municipality, an area very much devastated by the floods, where we are very positive to make sure we can hit 2025 with a positive impact, help more people, and respect our donators in our upcoming projects and developments, which still need to be passed by the Social Welfare Council in Nepal.
Wishing everybody the very best, and grateful for all your patience and continued support as we grow and continue to find the best solutions and way forward in Nepal to do justice to all your kindness and generosity, as we plan great voluntary work to update you about in the coming year.
