Food aid (1)

Prices in KTM are rising due to the flash flood disaster of August 26. When you have little or nothing, making ends meet is always; rising prices turn that into a catastrophe. Almost all the children attending the SHCOP after-school program come from families scarred by the 2015 earthquakes—families that lost parents, siblings and/or their homes. Having started over in the big city, the children are looked after at SHCOP after school until their parents come to collect them following a long day of hard and heavy work, often in low-paying jobs.

These families always face hardship, but the situation is especially difficult right now. Thanks to numerous donations (for which we are incredibly grateful 🙏🏽), 4 Smiling Faces was able to help them with a well-stocked food parcel containing items such as rice, lentils, oil, eggs, potatoes, and vegetables.
