📢 We're recruiting! Two roles are now open to join the INF UK staff team:

Supporter Engagement Officer (full time) - connecting with supporters by delivering key communications, including inspiring and resourcing people's prayers.

Trusts Officer (part time) - ensuring key supporters feel valued and connected to the work in Nepal, with a focus on relationships with grant-making trusts and foundations.

Both roles can be home based, with the option to work from our Birmingham office up to two days a week, and we're happy to be flexible with hours and work patterns.

Please share these in your churches and with any friends or connections who might be interested. Full details are in the recruitment packs on our website: www.inf.org.uk/jobs

Please also pray for mutual discernment between applicants and INF UK in the recruitment for both roles. 🙏

Over the past few days, there have been increasing reports of monsoon-related landslides as heavy rain brings greater risks to people living in remote areas.

Even without loss of life or property, this time of year brings severe disruption, with road blockages affecting access to remote villages in INF working areas. Landslides during the past week have been reported in Kalikot, Jajarkot, and other rural western districts.

More than 6,000 people in Nepal have died in landslides over the past 60 years — and the three years with the largest number of fatal landslides have all occurred since 2020.

Please pray for the safety and security of people in areas at risk, and for our partners as they stand ready to respond when needed.

We often support Asal Chhimekee Nepal (ACN), the social action arm of the Pokhara Christian Community, who work with local churches to respond to natural disasters. You can donate to our Disaster Relief Fund at any time, so our partners can respond immediately to help those affected. https://www.inf.org.uk/get-involved/donate-nepal-monsoon-appeal/

Gaugora is 47 and lives in a remote village in Bajura, western Nepal. Until recently, cooking for her family meant spending 2–3 hours over a smoky wood fire — alone, because the fumes were too much for anyone else to be in the room.

Firewood itself was a struggle. The nearest forest is a 3–4 hour walk away, and in years when the river didn't flood and carry wood downstream, supplies ran dangerously low.

Through her women's self-help group and INF Nepal's project, Gaugora received an improved cookstove. The difference has been immediate. Meals that took over two hours now take 45 minutes. Firewood use has almost halved. The smoke that used to blacken her walls and irritate her eyes is gone.

But perhaps the biggest change is this: her family now gathers in the kitchen while she cooks.

"Every time I cook, I remember INF’s support. This stove is a gift that has made my life as a housewife easier and healthier."

Small technology. Real transformation.

Congratulations to Dr Amrita Shrestha, Head of Palliative Care and Chronic Diseases at INF's Green Pastures Hospital in Pokhara, who has received an Honorary Fellowship from the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh! 🎉

This recognises her leadership of the Sunita project, which is transforming care for people in Nepal with serious and life-limiting illnesses. Her husband, Dr Suraj Maharjan, also of Green Pastures, joined her at the ceremony. What an incredible family.

Thank you for supporting Green Pastures and our Medical Charity Fund, which make this life-changing work possible.

We are very grateful for the input from Asal Chhimekee Nepal (ACN) at our recent Zoom to Nepal online event.

We are delighted to see construction underway for a new Community Service Centre in Pokhara, which is being built in partnership with the Pokhara Christian Community to resource the mission and ministry of churches across Nepal.

This photo shows the digging of foundations for this building which will train young leaders and provide outreach opportunities to serve the local community. It will also be the base for emergency relief work done by ACN responding to floods, landslides and earthquakes.

At 20, Ganesh had a new wife and his whole future ahead of him. Then, one night, his house collapsed on top of him.

What happened next — a fight for his life, and a free fund that gave him back his future — is a story you won't forget.

Ganesh was only 20 when a monsoon changed his life. Paralysed and in danger of death, free medical care from INF gave him back his future.

What does it take to transform a family's future? For Fulo in Nepal, it started with a farmers' group and the courage to try something new.

As a member of the Dalit community in Siraha, Fulo had very little land of her own. While her husband worked abroad, she took loans at high interest and laboured daily — and it still wasn't enough.

The ASHA project changed that. By helping women lease larger plots of land and teaching effective farming methods, Fulo grew and sold vegetables and grains at market for the first time — making a real profit to support her family.

Today she's the treasurer of her Farmers' Group, and she wants to be an example for other women in her community.

Fulo's family were struggling to get by, until Fulo started leasehold farming and became a female leader in her community.

Yagyapura is 23 years old, lives in rural Kalikot, Nepal, and supports a family of eleven. For years, the land her family farmed barely produced enough to last a few months — and the rest of the year, they depended on her husband's unpredictable daily wages.

She joined a women's self-help group set up through INF Nepal's BREAD Project. She received training in commercial ginger farming — how to plant, manage disease, and sell — along with seeds and basic tools to get started.

She chose a small plot, 150 square metres, that had been sitting unused because it was too shaded for cereal crops. Ginger, it turns out, thrives in shade.

Her first harvest brought in £70. It might not sound like much, but for a family that had seen nothing from that land, it was proof that things could be different.

"For years, we didn't get anything worthwhile from it. Now I know this land is perfect for ginger. I'm committed to continuing and expanding into other high-value crops."

She's already replanted for next season — and she's just getting started.
