Shekhar Ghale to Provide Rs 578.5 Million for Education of Bhotekoshi Flood-Affected Children

Kathmandu : Dr. Shesh Ghale, former president of the Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA), and his wife Jamuna Gurung’s MIT Group Foundation has announced financial assistance of Rs 578.5 million for children affected by the Bhotekoshi flood and those who have lost their parents or guardians.

The foundation has signed an agreement with the National Child Rights Council to support eligible children under the age of 18 affected by the disaster through their education up to Grade 12.

Under the agreement, assistance will be provided based on the individual circumstances and needs of the children, including education, food, accommodation, clothing, healthcare and other essential requirements.

Ghale said that the problems faced by affected families would not end simply because the floodwaters had receded. He said he and his wife, Jamuna Gurung, had been deeply affected by the difficult circumstances faced by children who lost their parents or guardians and their families following the disaster.

In a statement shared on social media, Ghale said his family considered it both an opportunity and a responsibility to support the children not only during this difficult period but also in the years ahead.

According to Ghale, the assistance will help the children continue their education, meet their basic needs and maintain hope for a better future.
