One of my friends Jiba Pokhrel has started a Woman's shelter in Nepal. He reached out to me for some funds. Thought I would reach out to all of you. It could be $100, $20 even $1. Anything and everything would help for this project.

where in nepal? what is a women's shelter? how many are staying currently? are they permanent resident of the women's shelter or temporary resident? where is the website? which organizations are supporting the initiative? who is this pokhrel? where is his picture? how to support anyone without knowing his background and seeing his face at least in picture?

Magne pani tarika hunchha ni.

@Immigrant123..
I don't think people will readily donate you money without knowing you or your friend Mr. Pokhrel. In order to raise money, first show what your friend had done so far. May be make a website, post pictures, mention abt the plans and programs etc.
As macini said "Magne pani tarika hunchha ni"

Please send me your email addresses i can forward you the documents.

Human Development Academy (HuDA) is in Baghbazaar, Kathmandu, Nepal.
Introduction:Human Development Academy (HuDA) is a non-goverment non-profitable organization. It is established in 2009 aiming to uplift the spiritual, economic and social status of displaced woman and children. Right now 30 woman are living in his shelter. His next plan is to open an orphan shelter.

I know Jiba and he is Laxmi Prasad Devkota of our time. He even has put his own money for this purpose. I am just asking money so people may get benefit from it. We spend $30 -$40 when we go out correct? Why not just give that money for this wonderful noble cause?

Thank you for donating.

Sincerely,
your Nepali brother

Yes teaching poor woman is one of the things they do. Another thing is they provide shelter to woman also.

have you read properly whats written there?

Yes i did. Donate as a human. There is nothing to lose.
Thank you.

Please let me know if you would like to donate.

Very noble cause but people in the States are too busy to do money transfer to the bank account. At a minimum you should have a website and allow people to make online payment.

यस्तो भिखारी तालले पैसा नामागौ न हो ब्रो | आल्लाह के नाम पे दो रुपिया देदो भने जस्तो .... चिन्नु न जान्नु झटारोले हान्नु .. कसलाई बढी भएको छ पैसा यहाँ ? घण्टा हानी हानी कमाएको पैसा तिमीहरुलाई फोकटमा दिएर तिमीहरुले त्यो पैसा झ्वाम गर्दैनौ भन्ने के विश्वास ?

भरपर्दो प्रमाण लिएर आउ | विश्वास दिलाउ | मान्छेलाई प्रभाभित पार | अनि बल्ल दिन्छन पैसा |

to be frank, i think we have enough NGOS and INGOs in Nepal... Most of them are generally a profit making company rather than a social charity building.. I dont think I'd like to donate cash to any of these organizations any more !! I dont even know if the money is used for a good cause...

It is only for who?

Nepal ma kasto kasto registered organization le paisa dekhai dekhai khaidincha tesmathi tahai nabhako organization ko k bhar... Registration bhaye ni j bhaye ni who know where all the money will go??

बाबु वेब साईट पनि बनाउ , राम्रा राम्रा काम गरेको फोटो छाप , साथि भाइ हरुलाई राम्रा राम्रा कमेन्ट लेख्न लगाउ , मुन्तरी हरुलाई बोलाइ भासण गर्न लागाउ अनि तेही फोटोको बिज्ञापन मार्फत चन्दा उठाउ , डोनेट गर्ने ICON पनि राख : नेपालमै कति चन्दा उठ्यो अहिले सम्म अनि कता के के मा खर्च भयो revenue र expenditure को लेखा जोखा तेही वेब साइट मा राखेर देखाउनु : काम नै गरे पछि मान्छेलाई बिस्वास दिने गरि पो गर्नु पर्छ नि, स्वरस्वति पुजा अनि शैक्षिक भ्रमणमा जान उठाउने झैँ घरि चन्दा उठाउन खोज्दा कसले दिन्छ पैसा ?
भंगवानलाइ पनि चडाउन छोडी सक्यौ ( गुरु गोजिलाई किन दिने ), रजिस्ट्रेसन आदि इत्यादि गर्दैमा चन्दा कसले दिने ?
आफ्नो गाउँको स्कूल को छाना चुहेर बिद्यार्थी हरु प्लास्टिक ओडेर , बाटा थापेर पड्दै छन् | लौ साथि हो ३ हजार मेरो बाल्यकालको प्राईमरि स्कुललाइ छाना मर्मत गर सहयोग गर्नु होस् !मैले मेरो बाले बनाएको  घर दिएको छु  !

Thank God we collected $2893.00 so far for the Woman's Shelter Project in Nepal. If you would like to donate please let me know.

"The children of Adam are limbs of each other
Having been created of one essence.
When the calamity of time afflicts one limb
The other limbs cannot remain at rest.
If you have no sympathy for the troubles of others
You are not worthy to be called by the name of "human"." (Saadi)

Thank God just wired $3500 to Human Development Academy, Nepal for the Woman's Shelter. Thank you for your prayers and support. May God bless all of you.

Is it for only Muslim women?

No it is for everyone in need. It was started by a Muslim but he has 9 Muslim woman and 11 non-Muslim woman as of today in his shelter. I will post pictures and keep everyone posted about the progress.

Why is there so much God's name in it ? I want to support a noble cause but I personally stay away from donating to any religion or cult.

Then I went to this blog (http://islam-n-nepal.blogspot.com/2011/04/human-development-academy-huda.html) to read more about HuDA and I am not happy at its goal:
To enhance the economic and spiritual status of 200 reverted Muslims of Nepal annually
And its objective:
3-1 To construct a building to provide short-term shelter for homeless and helpless reverted Muslim brothers and sisters.

It seems as if this organization is just concerned with providing shelter to only, what you say, 'reverted Muslims'. Is that correct ? Don't you think this should have been clear upfront ? If all helpless women are welcome, that's great.
