Germany's Ministry for Economical Cooperation and Development might stop cooperation with Nepal!
To avoid this disadvantage for Nepal & its citizens an Open Letter was published & a petition initiated. Read more on this issue on our German page.
Our association supports the initiative & asks you to sign the petition.
People in Nepal suffer from Corona even more. Only a little number of infections is supported (as of 13.05.20 according to Johns Hopkins University: 219 confirmed cases & no data available for casualties), but the economic situation is even worser in times of pandemia & restrictions.
Our association already has transferred money to Nepal in order to support the most urgent cases in the families of our students. You can contribute giving us a donation or buying a Corona-mask via our association:
