Donation focus: Nourishment<br />

Those who suffer from hunger face deprivation,<br />

disease, decreased intellectual capacity,<br />

lethargy, poor performance, poverty and thus<br />

early death. In many regions of the world<br />

malnutrition is a major problem, affecting a<br />

large percentage of the population. That’s why<br />

ROKPA operates soup kitchens in Nepal and<br />

South Africa and supports monks and nuns in<br />

Tibet with food grants. Every year ROKPA<br />

helps thousands of people in need in this way.<br />

Example: Shanti / Soup<br />

Kitchen in Nepal<br />

Shanti lost her parents and lives with<br />

a poor aunt who has four children of<br />

her own to feed. Shanti has to do a lot of work at home<br />

to earn her food. She was able to eat at the ROKPA Soup<br />

Kitchen for almost three months during the winter.<br />

Thanks to our help she also now finally has the chance<br />

to go to school!<br />

Project: Soup Kitchen in Kathmandu, Nepal<br />

Goal: Providing needy, sick and poor people of every<br />

treatment and warm clothes throughout the winter<br />

months regardless of religion, nationality or culture.<br />

Budget 2012: 12’025 CHF<br />
