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.
BRIEF
NEWS
A brief look at current activities with IGWR...
1. The IGWR Inc. committee have begun 2026 with a revisioning exercise. This is very much a work in progress as we set our vision for the future and look critically at what we are doing and what we might do in the future.
2. Simmone has initiated a teacher training program and is excited by the response she has received. Having attended a conference in Nepal with other NGOs she is excited about the potential for giving even more children a better education and helping them to reach their full potential.
3. Rachel has just returned from a group expedition in Nepal and again is excited about how we can improve what we are doing and become involved more with rural schools.
4. Our budget for 2025/26 gives a realistic measure of what funding we need. We begin each year with "hope" and also with anticipation as we continue to share of our abundance so that we can make the world a better place.
5. And we've taken some time to review our shortcommings, so hopefully in 2026 we will be better at sharing our story. In today's world it is a delight to have GOOD NEWS stories to share.
We look forward to 2026 and give thanks for all that was given in 2025.
May the new year be filled with the joy of sharing what we have with others as we seek together to create a better tomorrow.
