Provide further details of the charity's international activities: 
We worked with local NGO, RIDS-Nepal, to deliver sustainable holistic community development program in Humla and Jumla, far-western region of Nepal. The program delivers four basic necessities - clean water, hygienic pit latrines, smokeless stoves, and solar-powered electricity for each home. We are also able to contribute to educating locals to deliver these programs and other programs such as high-altitude greenhouse for growing vegetables.

We were able to fund $5000 towards the rebuild of a classroom in Ladap. This project was managed by Nepal Australia Friendship Association Qld Incorporated (NAFA). We were able to contribute half of the cost of one of the classrooms being built by NAFA. We also provided fund to purchase a much needed stretcher-bed for one of the health post.
