Nepal Women’s Group Pass On Surprise Donation to Hurricane Katrina Victims

 

Heifer - Nepal Women's Group Pass on the GiftIn 2006, a very special pass-on occurred in Nepal when Heifer U.S. teammates visited an NGO partner that grew out of Heifer Nepal’s first project in 1993. That original 25-member women’s group is responsible for the formation of 112 other women’s groups touching 2,800 families, and they have documented pass-ons of goats to the 8th generation.

The Women’s Group Coordination Committee ended their inspiring presentation with another pass-on: a surprise donation to aid Heifer recipients affected by Hurricane Katrina. This donation was presented to Nepal Country Director Dr. Shubh Mahato. To a round of applause, Dr. Mahato promptly passed on the gift to Heifer’s visiting Vice President of Education Anne Harper.Heifer - Nepal Passing on the Gift

The women of the group went on to share more of what they had. They each saved rice and together accumulated a large pile of rice to give other families in the community that needed the food. They also saved money in order to offer a young girl a scholarship to go to school.

This woman's group was successful because they were eager to help others, eager to give and eager to pass on their gift.
