Something truly inspiring to vote for . . .
This video doesn't really capture all of this amazing NGO's achievements, so I will try to sum up what they do here:
Shanti Sewa Griha Nepal is inspiring because it has allowed people with leprosy, physical and mental disabilities, and other debilitating illnesses the chance to move off the streets and start new lives (often after being ostracized from their villages) in a healthy and supportive community.
By providing fair wage jobs, free health care and medications, education for their children, accommodation, and organic meals, Shanti has rebuilt confidence, ownership, health and community support for the over 800 people in the Shanti family.
Shanti has gone on to build a self-sustainable eco village, 2 clinics, clean community drinking water fountain (open to the public), solar cookers and organic farms, workshops, assisted living accommodations, a pre-school and school, and is in the process of building a free hospital for the general public.
While their current programs run well without the need of much outside financial support, they will not be able to create new programs or touch as many lives without more support.
They are not asking for money, but simply your vote in the BBC World Challenge. They have already made it from over 700 applicants down to the final twelve.
