WORRY

As part of a holistic, integrated program, NCM established a child development center in their village. Through the center, Nirmaya also joined a self-help group that helped her open a shop with her husband, and the family participated in agricultural training. Before the project, people in the village struggled so much to grow food that those who did have gardens often found food stolen. Now, everyone in the village has flourishing gardens with a wide variety of crops.

“Because of the self-help group, I became stronger than before,” Nirmaya says.

By creating an integrated project, children like Rama will grow up in families that have safety nets when disasters come. When the need was great, churches in Nepal responded in a way that will change lives for generations.
