West Cork generosity helps Nepal families rebuild their lives

Labourer Ganga Rai, 40, his wife Thulimaya, a cleaner, and their sons, Bikaash, 10, and Bishal, 7, were homeless for three months following the devastating Nepal earthquake last April.

However, money donated by the people of West Cork to Just-One, a charity for street children established by Declan Murphy, enabled the Rai family and eight other families to move into specially constructed bamboo-and-clay homes on a half-acre site leased by Just-One in the north-west of Kathmandu.
