Supporting a family of seven with essentials in Bara
27 February 2025
We recently came across an article on E-Kantipur that highlighted a truly moving story. Wanting to learn more, we reached out to the Journalist Laxman Shah Ji, who introduced us to the incredible journey of Shiv Lal Mandal Ji. Shiv Ji is a visually impaired father whose determination and resilience in the face of hardship are nothing short of inspiring.
Every single day, with an unwavering perseverance, he walks an astonishing 13 kilometers to the Nepal-India border, guided by one of his daughters. There, he purchases biscuits, which he then brings back to his community to sell, using the earnings to support his family. Despite the immense challenges he faces, Shiv Ji continues to push forward, ensuring a better future for his loved ones through sheer hard work and dedication.
When we heard his story, we knew we wanted to help. We were honored to provide Shiv Ji and his family with essential goods, a white cane to aid his mobility, sunglasses for eye protection, bicycle for his daughters and son and a new set of clothes for the entire family. It was a small gesture in comparison to his strength, but one that we hope brings comfort and encouragement to him and his family.
This wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of Mr. Amrit Rana from NIC Asia Bank, Bara Branch, who volunteered his time and effort to make this initiative a reality. His dedication helped us overcome geographical challenges, ensuring that assistance reached Shiv Ji and his family when they needed it most.
