Nonprofit to help with projects in Nepal
The Global Humanity Initiative, a Sequim-based nonprofit, announced last week the organization is assisting in construction of two major projects to benefit impoverished children in Nepal.
“First, we are partnering with a well-established, global French organization, to build a new children’s home in the Kathmandu Valley,” founder/president Alicia Jean Demetropolis said. “This new home will house 20 children whose parents were either killed in the earthquakes of 2015, or who are unwilling or unfit to care for them.”
Demetropolis explains that their current home is too small, and they are turning away children in need.
