REACH for Nepal Foundation – Fundraising Gala Dinner

REACH for Nepal Foundation (RFN) will be hosting its first major fundraising dinner event on 31 Aug 2017, at Albert Hall, Canberra.

RFN has been established to provide practical and financial assistance to rural Nepalese communities primarily affected by the earthquake in 2015.

RFN works to improve the lives of Nepalese people through initiating and supporting programs that assist earthquake-affected communities to rebuild schools and libraries, provide educational scholarships, foster sustainability, enhance the skills of local teachers and extend participation in sporting activities.  RFN’s priority is assisting people in remote areas of Nepal that have not been assisted by other aid agencies. Many of these are only accessible on foot.

REACH is an acronym that defines the objectives of the foundation:

• Rebuild – Supporting reconstruction efforts in villages affected by earthquake damage
• Educate – Boosting education outcomes by providing school books, tuition and training
• Assist – Stimulating the local economy with employment and training opportunities
• Children/Communities – Improving the livelihood of children and remote communities
• Hope – Giving hope to those that have lost loved ones, homes and jobs

RFN’s central fundraising activity is the facilitation of several fully guided trekking experiences to the Himalayas each year. These combine trekking with volunteer work on a rebuilding project.

RFN hopes that anevent such as this will help us communicate with our stakeholders to promote the progress we have made in Nepal and also to raise our profile to garner more support for the foundation.

We look forward to hosting you on the night.
