British 10K London Run

The British 10K London Run returns on 14 July 2013 and we still have places available.

You can support Kidasha by taking part in this world-famous race through the heart of central London. Alongside athletes and celebrities, the British 10K Run will take you on a tour of the city's historic landmarks, such as St. James's Palalce, Trafalgar Square, St. Paul's Cathedral, The London Eye, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey.

By joining the Kidasha runners, you can help raise money for vital programmes protecting and supporting Nepal's poorest children. Contact us now to secure your place!

Kidasha Annual Review

We are delighted to announce the release of Kidasha's 2011/12 Annual Review.

We hope you enjoy reading about our work and achievements over the year and the progress we have made in our mission to improve equality of opportunity for children in Western Nepal.

Please contact the Kidasha London office if you would prefer a hard copy.

Big Lottery Fund Grant

Kidasha has been awarded a grant of £499,662 by the Big Lottery Fund for the three-year project: Improved mother and infant health in Nepal. We are delighted to receive this funding, which will enable Kidasha and its local partner, NAMUNA, to bring immediate and long-lasting improvements to the lives of tens of thousands of women and infants.

Fewer than 1 in 4 women in poor communities in Western Nepal have skilled medical care at delivery of their baby. This causes much avoidable injury, suffering and death to both mothers and children.

With Big Lottery Fund support, Kidasha and NAMUNA will increase access to essential health care through education, community participation and capacity building in 28 rural Village Development Committee areas and 2 urban municipalities in Rupandehi District, Western Nepal. Working with Women's Groups as the main vehicle for change, the project will reach 110,000 women of reproductive age and over 10,000 new-born babies per year.

 

Nepali Ambassador attends Kidasha launch

The official relaunch of CWS as Kidasha on Thursday 14th June was honoured by the presence of His Excellency Dr. Suresh Chandra Chalise.

Guests at the event heard Janice Miller, Chief Executive, explain the charity's new three year strategy to reach the most disadvantaged children and young people in Nepal: improving access to healthcare for mothers and children, equality of access to education for children and young people, and protection and support for children who live or work on the street.

Kidasha will achieve this by building quality projects with local partners that will have a sustained impact for children, mothers and families at grassroots level.
