Mathihani Relief Update

In April 30 2024 : We Thanks for Support during our relief efforts in Mathihani has been invaluable. From providing army personnel for cooking food which help us in food distribution, this dedication made a world of difference. As we bid farewell, we extend a warm welcome to Lt. Col. Bishesh Poudyal Sir of Ranbhim Battalion, ready to continue the noble cause. Today marks the end of our feeding programme, following the CDO’s request, as ample relief packages have been distributed. A heartfelt thanks to everyone for your cooperation and generous donations towards our fire hazard relief program. Together, we’ve made a tangible impact.
