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.
Annual Report from IGWR Nepal.
It is good to hear from the team in Nepal, and in their own words they share what is being achieved...
We are very much a "family of families" and each of us are inspired by each other, and delight in the growth that we see in and through 'our kids'...
The students are amazing, and in supporting them we are very building a better tomorrow for all.

An opportunity to reflect on the year past, and to see what a wonderful difference our giving has achieved.
It is so encouraging to know that a better tomorrow is possible.
And, it is affirming to know, that it is "in giving that we receive", for we have been delighted by the joy, blessings and love that is so much a part of the family of families that is IGWR.
