Stichting Milijuli

Activities


Other organisations helping people in the Duble area.

Overlap in the activities?


There is a partial overlap in the objectives.




There is no overlap. They have adopted the school in Bhitte. We focus on the school in Duble. The two schools are more than an hour's walk apart.




The initiators of this foundation have done much for the people in the Duble area. They focus on the provision of basic sanitation, ie drinking water and toilets.
Also important are the watermills, which they have financed. These grain mills save women hours of work each day with the stone hand mill.




There is a partial overlap.
The foundation facilitates the education of children of Nepalese employees of the Dutch travel organisation HT Wandelreizen.
Several people from the Duble area regularly work for HT.



That there are only Dutch organizations listed here is because of many staff of the Dutch HT Wandelreizen come from this area.

Each foundation comprises a small group of people and the total number of people is therefor not large.
The money that these foundations raise has to be obtained through personal contacts and personal commitment. In fund raising, we are not in each other's way. At Foundation Milijuli we have never noticed that we got a donation that might otherwise have gone to one of the other foundations.

Thanks to the facilities of the Internet we are aware of the activities of the other foundations which makes it easy to avoid duplication. When we have the same priorities somewhere we can work together.
In rural areas a series of small foundations can help more effectively than a large foundation. They can provide the needed personal touch. To quote Nepalese guides: "Big groups, big problems. Small groups, small problems."
