100% of the proceeds goes to support our homeless and abandoned elders in Nepal and Guatemala! Fair-trade, hand made, eco-conscious goods.

These handmade, pure cashmere mufflers were purchased from Helping Hands Handicrafts in Kathmandu, which provides practical training and employment opportunities for people living with disability in Nepal. They aim to challenge the discrimination these folks face in mainstream society and help them enjoy an independent life. Helping Hands offers free training in handloom weaving, and the chance to earn income by working for Helping Hands’ stores. They are a fair trade and eco-conscious organization.

Don't let your screen fool you: The diamond patterns on the pink muffler and the white muffler are gorgeous!

Each one measures 67" in length by 11" wide.

This is Mann Badhu. He is one of the residents here at the elder care home in Pharping, Nepal. He lived and worked in India for 40 years, and was married to a Nepali woman whom he'd met in India. They had a son and a daughter.Shortly after he and his wife moved back to Nepal to retire, she left him for another man. He returned to his village to discover his brothers had had him declared legally dead while he was in India so they could divide the family property amongst themselves.He asked the Ministry of Women, Children, and Senior Citizens for help in reversing the paperwork which declared him dead. The government of Nepal has said they won't do it.Because Mann is legally dead, he can't collect his pension. He has no home, no family, no idea how to reach his kids, no money...nothing. He feared for his life in his village: There was nothing to stop any of his brothers from killing him.

Mann is gentle and quiet soul, who looks after another resident here, Padmal Singh. You’ll meet Padmal soon. They sit together in the courtyard and have chats, go for walks together, and Mann always makes room for Padmal at the table for meals. His kindness gives Padmal’s wife, Sahdna, a bit of a break.

Mann helps by sweeping around the grounds, cleaning leaves from the planter encircling the tree on the property, and he helped Saani in the garden the other day. A couple of times a week, Mann sits in a chair near his room and shaves with a razor blade and a tiny makeup mirror.At the end of our interview the other day, I told him I was happy he was here and that I love him as my own father.

He asked me if I have my own father and mother. I told him no, they have died already.I awoke yesterday morning to discover him wiping down my windows outside. Then he came in and cleaned the inside of the windows, and at last made himself comfy in my spare chair and had a good look around at my sparsely decorated room. 💕

This elder care home is run entirely by donations. Only a few residents collect a pension, and that amount isn’t quite enough to cover those residents’ medications each month. Families come on the occasion of their child’s birthday and donate food, and local residents ensure Shahadev has the support he needs…but it’s always still a struggle.

The monthly donation we provide pays the salary of one of the caregivers, and while I’m staying here, I am helping with the purchase of food and milk to ensure I don’t end up draining their precious resources.

Thank you, as always, for your love and support. The elders you help appreciate and love you in return. 🙏

THANK YOU to everyone who has helped support homeless and impoverished elders through the years. I don't post much here because Facebook's charity user interface is horrible these days, but I do want everyone to know how much I've appreciated your help. We were able to pay for a private caregiver for Kapitah during her last months on this earth, when she was bedridden. She passed recently, and is finally at peace, and finally able to walk and run and be free.

Want your organization to be the top-listed Non Profit Organization in Sequim?

For every elder, food and a home.

The mission of The Global Humanity Initiative is to improve the lives of impoverished and homeless elders around the world by providing food and housing support, regardless of religion, race or gender.

We act on our belief that elders should be respected and their history be cherished.

Our financial needs are met via fundraising efforts and events, individual donations, and grant monies.

We are all one human race. The Global Humanity Initiative believes humans can play a greater role in the lifting up of others, and we believe in giving those who are less fortunate than ourselves the means to improve their lives. My Board of Directors and I hope you will join us in this Initiative.
