 We are continuing to fund raise again this year with a  more modest goal of £30.000.  We have been  so encouraged and over whelmed with all that has been achieved this past year with the generosity of so many. A total of £35.600 was sent to Sahodar Nepal for the church /community building ,Hospital and salaries.

Autumnal Greetings

.We are delighted to say that the craft fare at the Royal William Yard went very well. We raised over £400 over the weekend. Friday was very stormy but fortunately for us the sun came out on the Saturday and Sunday. The number of visitors this year was well below previous years due to the on going COVID restrictions, but many friends came to support us. We must thank the Ocean café for allowing us to have our display outside their premises and being such a good source of hot tea. Thanks also to all those who donated such a variety of art work to go along side the knitted trees. Of course a very big thank you to Martin Storey for giving us permission to use his delightful knitting pattern which was the main draw for this event . We have a few items left and hope to do a small Christmas event  later- we will keep you posted. 

As the winter approaches and this virus is still making its mark we have heard of two cases at the hospital in Garambeshi. We are thankful to God both are mild but please continue to remember this community in your prayers.

Activity in Covid 19

A Big Thank You to everyone who has continued to support the work of SAHODAR through prayer and giving during the time of Lockdown.
​We are now able to share a photo of the completed church/community building, all freshly painted. You may notice the shoe racks on either side of the door for people to leave their footwear before entering. 

The building has only been used once so far; the COVID-19 Lockdown has since prevented people from meeting in groups, but we will hopefully see pictures of it being used, once the crisis has passed.


While we have not been able to have any fundraising activities involving groups of people meeting up, we have continued to sell ‘virtual bricks’ and also had a Lent Challenge on Facebook, encouraging people to give whatever they would usually spend on the ‘treats’ they were giving up for that period.
We have also been enlisting the creative skills of some of our supporters to knit Christmas Tree Bunting - intended to be displayed and sold at an event at the Royal William Yard, Plymouth, on 25th-27th September. Please get in touch if you would like to get involved.

The craft fair we were planning for July has been put on hold for now, but we are considering alternative ways of selling work on-line.
Since the completion of the church/community building in March, we have been able to send a further £12,840 towards the hospital build - over halfway to our original target of £23,000. Amazing! This amount will be doubled with the Nepali Government match funding. Additional funding for salaries amounting to £4,325 has also been sent this year.
The need for better health provision in Garambesi has never been greater; Dr Shiva and his team continue to serve the local community as best they can with the existing facilities until the new build can be continued. 

Thank you once again for your interest and support,


From the SUK Trustees
