Nepal is located between China and India. The population in Nepal is close to 29.3 million people where Chitwan has 579,984. Chitwan is located in the southwestern part of Nepal close to the India border. Chitwan is known for their deep forests and national parks. It is also the homeland for the Thalu people. The average income per month is $100 USD.
Coalesce International, with the help of trusted locals, has been sponsoring Nepalese children enabling them to attend school (e.g., uniforms books, pens, etc.), plus others that are in need (e.g., regular groceries for a 94 year-old grandmother who was found begging for food, and supplying medical and groceries to an elderly couple).

Thanks to more generous donors, we were able to feed more families in Nepal during their covid lockdown. Their government does not provide any relief or food for them. Due the the recent floods also in Nepal, these families have lost a lot.

June 1, 2021
We have identified a village (Ramailo Basti Toll) that has little or no food source due to the Corona virus still hitting hard in Nepal. Due to their lockdown and no vaccines yet, life is hard and many people have no jobs or income. They try to survive by growing their own vegetables or by going fishing in the river, but it is rainy season there and the rivers are all muddy.
There are around 20 homes with 4-5 people in each.
For only $30 you can feed a family of 4 for a month by providing them with 30 pounds of rice, oil, salt, 40 pounds of potatoes, onion, and lentils.
Our goal is to feed 20 identified families for 3 months in villages around Chitwan which were hit hard by the coronavirus. They have no jobs and the government does not help them. There is also no vaccines available right now to them.
This is a typical Nepali meal, mostly rice with lentils or potatoes.
