Supporting Nepal

Andrea recently returned from Nepal where she has been working with the charity Asha Nepal, which helps young women and children affected by sex trafficking.

Asha Nepal helps the girls by providing a safe place to live and a school education so they can learn to how to safely re-enter society. Eighty one girls were living at the Asha Nepal Shelter when the earthquake struck on Saturday evening. 

Andrea Ubhi, owner of Andrea Ubhi Cosmetic Dentistry said: “Thankfully the children that Asha Nepal cares for and all the staff are fine, but really shaken and scared. During the earthquake, one of the four residential Asha homes was badly damaged and so the nine girls that lived there are staying temporarily in the other homes. They are unable to return back to this home and we are now looking at getting them new accommodation.

For several days the children and residential team had to sleep outside due to many aftershocks and fear that the buildings would fall down on them. It rained. However last night they slept inside on the ground floors, however there are still aftershocks and they have to run outside every time, which is creating stress and panic.
