Overview
The campaign is for people who live in the deprived community of Nepal. For those people, who not only are living in poverty but who are blinded by birth. This is the story of 'Shambhu Mandal', 'Shiva Narayan Mandal' and ' Laxman Mandal', the three brothers who are blind by birth. The story of misfortune does not end here, they had brought in this world 6 children in their family; 2 each, who as well are as well blind by birth. It is our effort to help these people with a roof over their head.

About us

Hello beautiful people around the world, we are Arjun Ghimire and Kumar Kattel. We are television artists in Nepal and are popular by our alias 'Pade Budha' and 'Jigri' respectively. We are the lead role of the show namely 'Bhadragol'. You can find our videos on Youtube under the name of 'Bhadragol' or even when you type our names.

We met the Mandal family on our visit to shoot in the village and came across this poorest family. It was heart wrenching to see the entire family not being able to see and on top living under poverty line. In fact, in one of the occasions when we returned to village with some help, we saw one of the family members die because of malnutrition. It is then we took an oath to help these people living in leaking houses with new and modern house as well as education for the children. 

 

What We Need & What You Get

We started with where we were and with what we had. In fact, with the help of few good souls we began building three 3 room house with restroom. And as per our contractor, it would cost us 1000 dollars each to complete. 

As of now, May 22nd, 2017, we have completed 60% of our work. The houses built for these 3 families are differently able friendly house and is equipped with water system and proper drainage. Saying that, we have almost dried out on funds and with the hope to get helped, we are reaching out to you. 

We cannot offer you any perks as such except for the satisfaction that with your money was built a house for someone who is living in poverty and who is visually impaired. 

Once the project is completed and if the funds remain, the funds will be used in educating the children of the family and helping them with every day expenses and providing them with livelihood trainings. 

How does your fund help?

  • It will help create roof over the heads of blind people who are poor
