Yesterday, we visited Lalita Sada, a member of the low-caste Musahar community in Mahottari District, south Nepal. Lalita is a young mother who had to drop out of education because of child marriage.

Now, aged 27, she has recently returned to education, completed a major examination and aspires to join sixth form college. Through a Pipal Tree bursary, her dream can come true this September.

Here is the film of our visit:

Six days into our Big Give campaign we have now raised £17,058 towards our £64,520 target. That means we still have £23,731 available to match online donations pound for pound. It will cost £37.40 per month to pay for Lalita’s bursary..

As usual with the Big Give, all gifts automatically double in value.

Thank you very much in anticipation.
