Proud of our HiCap #sponsored girls studying hard in #Kathmandu A recent donation of £25 allowed them to enjoy a well-earned first time visit to the zoo

At last, vitally needed food delivered to our schools in the #lamjung region courtesy of HiCap UK #lockdown has been especially hard in #Nepal #COVID19 #coronavirus #charity #NGOs #helpinghand #humanitarian #aid

Love helping the #families in most need in #Nepal. Beautiful country, beautiful people. We are just a small independent grassroots charity with minimal overheads that make an enormous #impact when given the chance. Please #support us.

Currently trying to seek #funding for our next project in the #Lamjung district, #Nepal to help one of our poorest schools to build them a simple #kitchen to prepare meals for the #children. Sometimes it is the only meal of the day for them #education #charitytuesday

[Freda Casagrande @hicapuk]

Sometimes we have a little money leftover from #sponsorship so this time we bought this little girl a desk to encourage her #study at home. #education #ChangeMaker #impact #Nepal #children

An Old #Menstruation Taboo Killed Her. This Time, a Man Went to Jail. https://t.co/5f4L9Wt2U4

A good start but more #education about #womenshealth is required #menstruation #period #Nepal

[Period! @PeriodMagazine]

A total of 300 #menstruation huts (chhaugoths) were destroyed in the Surkhet district in Nepal https://t.co/oJyXFuv1X9

[Freda Casagrande @hicapuk]

So pleased to see more awareness and consideration towards #womenshealth concerning #menstruation #period #periodpoverty

In 2019 Hicap commenced a project to help young girls in the schools we support by supplying #menstruation products. It was very successful & one school has now allocated a separate toilet for girls #proud #health #womenshealth #GirlsEducation #firstperiod

Following #TopGear last night reminds of my first visit to #LoMuntang and #UpperMustang many years ago where there were no roads and I had to trek there. At that time one of the most #remote areas in the world #nepal The trip was my inspiration for my #charity HiCap UK.

Benita, our #Nepalese local employee organising all the provisions for our next trip. A lot of thought goes into our trip so we spend our sponsors money wisely #charity #Nepal #givingback

[Freda Casagrande @hicapuk]

#education plays a significant role in breaking the #poverty cycle and offers them some #protection from #exploitation and #abuse. I run a successful sponsorship scheme to educate #Nepalese children in the #Lamjung area.

[Freda Casagrande @hicapuk]

Three yrs ago I managed to bulk buy #school jumpers from #tesco for the children at Chymache school, #Nepal Your #donations will help buy the next batch to keep these children warm this winter.

[Freda Casagrande @hicapuk]

One of my #sponsors always puts a tin of tuna in her care package and it goes down a treat! #healthy #nutritious and doesn’t harm their teeth like sweets do! Great thinking. Send me any other ideas you might have for your parcels.

[Freda Casagrande @hicapuk]

Another trip to #Nepal planned late November, so if you wish to send parcels to your #sponsored #Children then get them in the post soon for hand delivery by me. #nameste #lamjung

[Freda Casagrande @hicapuk]

Successful August trip to visit all the sponsored children in #Nepal. Benita, our local employee gets all the joy of delivering our #sponsors letters and gifts.

[Freda Casagrande @hicapuk]

Good news, even if a long time overdue! Keep #Nepal clean. Single-use plastics banned in Nepal's Everest region https://t.co/G4NCN8u5IJ

[Freda Casagrande @hicapuk]

Carefully chosen #books by HiCap are being prepared to be sent to the children in the #Himalayas who have limited access to #education. #EducationForAll

Touched by the generosity & thoughtfulness of a small band of merry #knitters wishing to help my #charity. Please #support their #yardsale on 29 June #saxmundham
