to a Nepali NGO – Living Water Hostel
(LWH), in Kathmandu, Nepal.

that is needed for youth, aged 16-24, to stay
there in order to pursue their chosen further

identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|SORP reference
Para 1.20|Over the whole year – 2023 – NN has
fulfilled its commitment to send regular
sums of money contributing to LWH’s
delivery of its services to the beneficiaries.
The hostel started and ended the year
with:
9 males (av. age of 18.33) and
27 females (av. age of 18.78)
**During 2023:**
Four students left (Two M. Two F.)
Four students joined LWH (Two M. Two F.)
Of those who left two had gained some
qualifications:
One woman achieved A ’level equivalents
One man graduated with a Bachelor’s
degree in Rural Development.
Five other students gained the equivalent
of A’ levels and stayed on to continue their
studies.
Another outcome for the students, who
work very hard, is that they have had some
recreational down time with NN’s funds
helping enable six trips. Four were within
the city to a Festival; the Zoo; Chobar and
to see the Christmas lights.| |---|---|---| **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |||| |---|---|---| |Achievements against

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The fund balance of around £3.5K in the
bank at the end of 2023 was reasonable.
Due to a fundraising push and the gaining
of a few more regular donors at the end of
2023, going forwards, there is only a
relatively small shortfall each month.
Claiming back Gift Aid (in process) should
help increase the funds and ensure viability
well into 2026, although, clearly, more
regular donors and grant / other fundraising
income are necessary for the Charity to be
able to pursue and develop all its
objectives.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|From the start trustees have agreed that
three months’ worth of regular outgoings
should be held in reserve to give any
NGO/s, that we are supporting, time to
access alternative funding should Nurture
Nepal need to cease operations.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|This is currently held at £1500 as monthly
outgoings are £500/m| |Reasons for holding zero
