We can all make a real difference
IGWR is an Australian charity that helps vulnerable families in Nepal. We have a special focus on supporting single mothers and children who need support to attend school or a safe home. For twelve years we’ve been making a real difference by giving opportunities that enable these women and children to blossom and find a sustainable future for the whole family.

"When we give a child an opportunity to go to school and then on to college, we create a future for the child and renew hope for the family and local community. It is more than charitable work, it is an investment in a better future for all."
Peter Humphris, Chairperson, IGWR Inc.
Single mums are amazing, they sacrifice a lot and work harder than most of us can imagine. However, with our support they can give their kids the opportunity they themselves never had.
Most of our students live at home with mum (usually a one room home), and we ensure the kids can go to school and that mum is supported.
We're currently supporting about fifty students in full time education, from primary school through to university.
And we make a real difference..
We have graduates that are now working in healthcare (including one doctor and three nurses), banking, hospitality and even running their own small business.
Some children do not have a safe home to live in. We have three houses in Kathmandu that provide a family style hostel with resident house-mothers to look after these children during the school terms.
The gift of giving Life
A thank you email from Raja to one of our supporters. It tells a story and shows what a real difference you can make to the life of a child in Nepal.
The latest news from Nepal.

"It is colourful, informative, inspiring and really captures the full story of IGWR.
You are fabulous!!! T H A N K Y O U
I feel like I have spent that time sitting with our kids and families and hearing from them personally"
A summary of the year
It is wonderful to see the news from Nepal and to see what a difference we are all making.
The report is produced on the ground in Nepal and that is also a great testament to the team over there and to the progress we are making as a family of families.

Together we give life and opportunities to vulnerable families.
"I do not understand why there are kids in poverty when it only costs the price of a cup of coffee a day to give them life"
