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 forty 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.
JULY 2026 Newsletter...

Sharing Stories...
Gathering together in the early evening, work all finished for the day, our students share their stories, their hopes and their dreams...
The smiles on their faces also tell a story, for they reflect what a difference our sharing and our generosity can bring to others.
THANK YOU....
Behind the Scenes...
The IGWR board in Australia are looking to evolve and bring new board members into this amazing 'family'. Our team in Nepal are making a real difference to the lives of kids that without our support would have little opportunity to build a future for themselves.
I've always said "this is the best investment I've ever made", to be able to give life to others is a real gift. Now we are looking to build ourselves to ensure this work continues.
With the generosity of sponsors from around the world we're encouraged to continue what we do, and to do more of it, to build on the model of "A Family of Families" and make an even bigger difference in the future.
In today's world we are confronted with nightly news bulletins that are cause for concern, however, by doing a little bit to bring hope and light into the darkness, we find that we ourselves are more alive to the unfolding of a better tomorrow.
THANK YOU....
