Can we heed to the cries of the mothers and children of Nepal?

APPEAL For NEPAL
Please make your valuable Donations here:
Many of us have heard about Nepal for its natural beauty, tourism, medicinal resources, rich culture and heritage. Nepal has attracted tourists from all over the globe progressively. Nepalese are well known for honesty and integrity. Despite being blessed with beautiful nature and rich culture, Nepal is a poor country where women and children are the most affected victims of poverty and social imbalances.
Forty-two percent of the population in Nepal is under 18 years of age, Women and children are the most vulnerable in Nepal, and obviously they are suffering the most out of the devastating earthquake that broke down their hopes and dreams to ashes.
Today, the mothers and children of Nepal are crying out for help! Not for a luxurious life, but just for the basic needs to survive. They need food, shelter, healthcare, nutrition, sanitation, hygiene, safe drinking water, protection, information education, and other basic services for survival.
H.H Baselius Marthoma Paulose II, The Catholicos of the Indian Orthodox Malankara Church was deeply moved by the devastation caused by the earthquake, and the suffering of our brethren in our neighborhood. The Holy Father took the initiative as the head of our ancient apostolic Church of India to lend a helping hand to the suffering people of Nepal and have entrusted ICON Charities to support the Holy church in this noble cause.
We request all youngsters, mothers, young ladies and everyone else in our Church to earnestly
- Pray for the suffering people and social workers in Nepal
- Feed them with a days’ meal
- Inspire members of your family to help them generously.
