The general lifestyle is completely disrupted while many people relied on daily work to bring in food and everyday needs. Since the lockdown many people are deprived of work and are struggling.
Thankfully, an organization named “Pharping Food Bank” in Pharping is accessing and distributing food and other necessary items to the needy. The food bank was created by a group of enthusiastic young people who reaching out for the actual victims of the pandemic who are neglected by the government. Manisha Basnet, principal of DMS is also the part of the team for the Food distribution plan and a representative for “Friends For Nepal”. Pharping food bank is currently operating in nine different ward within the Municipality to reach such people who are out of work due to lockdown and do not have any option to feed their family. They have already supplied basic food to more than 30 families and more counting each day.

To support the cause, on the behalf of Friends for Nepal, Himalayan Development Aid, Himalayan Joy Force has donated 4 sets of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to Pharping Food Bank as their work involves getting in contact with people in different places. The NGO management is happy to help in these times of hardship and also deeply appreciates the humane effort by Pharping Food Bank and the people involved.
