Mr. Rudra Prasad Amagain is a 36 years old man, born in a remote area of Nepal called Gorkha. He has been suffering from heart problems for 10 years. Finally the doctor advised him to have a heart operation. Because Rudra couldn’t afford insurance and the Nepalese government doesn’t provide it either, he had to pay the operation himself. That’s why Rudra sold almost all his property and tried to accumulate donations from different organizations as well as from his friends. Also the SGNHC hospital provided him 50% discount for his surgery. So in the end, he managed to pay the fee.

The procedure went well, but since that day Rudra has to take regular medication to support his weak heart. As he sold his property to finance his operation, he cannot afford the medicine anymore. Also it became much harder for him to provide food and education for his two children.

Xabbel is supporting Rudra and his family with US$35 each month, to make life a bit easier for them.

Support For Woman Education Center

amount:	US$ 700
frequency:	once
start date:	10 / 2007
country:	Ethiopia
project status:	complete
financing:	complete

This project is situated in Endaselassie which is located in the north of Ethiopia. It is run by a partnership of the German foundation "Kinder unserer welt" (Children of our World) and the "Women's Association of Tigray". It is an education and training center for women from this particular region.

Since 1999 this center has trained more than 700 women. Most of them are now able to earn their own living and therefore they are less dependent - in this male dominated society - on men. The education center also trains orphan girls and gives them hope for the future.

We believe that this project is the right approach to a sustainable development for the region. Women are still deprived in Ethiopia and the Education Center in Endaselassie is a good approach to tackle this problem.

Paying School Fees for Sonam Lama

amount:	US$ 260
frequency:	annually
start date:	08 / 2007
country:	Nepal
project status:	in progress
financing:	complete

Sonam Lama is the only son in the Lama family. His father works as a caretaker in the Nepal Medical College which is located in Katmandu. With this job he earns around US $ 60 every month. Because of the high unemployment rate and the country's discrimination of women, Sonam's mother is not able to contribute to the household's income.

The Lama family do not starve, but they have hardly any cash left by the end of the month. For example, there isn't enough money to send their 6-year-old son to school. In a country like Nepal, this means that little Sonam Lama would have a poor chance for a decent life in his future.

Xabbel is financing the school fees and all other costs which are connected to the school education of Sonam Lama. We are planning to do this until Sonam has finished his educational career.

Surgery Of Anita Shrestha

amount:	US$ 400
frequency:	once
start date:	06 / 2007
country:	Nepal
project status:	complete
financing:	complete

The seven-year-old Anita Shrestra is living with her family in the rural area of Nepal. One day when Anita was 2 months old she was left alone by her parents, who had to do their daily field work. During their absence, an oil lamp toppled over and set the mattress, where Anita was lying, on fire. As a result of this accident her legs were severely burned.

Because Anita's family never had enough money to finance any treatment, her injury got worse and worse as time went by and today she is unable to walk.

When Anita was 7 years old, her parents heard about the SKM Hospital, which is located near Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. Thanks to foreign donations this hospital can provide surgeries at western standards to locals for an affordable fee.

Because of the severity of her injury, Anita has to stay in hospital for at least 6 months. The Xabbel Foundation finances the treatment of Anita Shestra at the SKM hospital to help make her walk again.
