Winter Warmth
Bringing Warmth, Comfort and Dignity to Families Facing the Cold.
No Family Should Face Winter Without Basic Protection
Winter can become especially difficult for families living in poverty or inadequate housing. Without sufficient warm clothing, blankets and other basic winter essentials, cold weather can create additional hardship for vulnerable households.
Through our Winter Warmth initiative, Al Ehsan Charitable Foundation Nepal supports vulnerable families with essential winter assistance according to their needs and the available project resources.
Our winter response may include warm clothing, blankets, food, firewood and other essential winter support intended to help families cope with the challenges of the cold season.
The purpose is simple: to help vulnerable people stay warmer, safer and more comfortable during difficult winter conditions while preserving their dignity.

For families with limited resources, winter can create additional challenges when basic protection from the cold is unavailable.
Extreme Cold
Cold weather can be particularly difficult for households without adequate winter protection.
Inadequate Blankets
Some vulnerable families may not have enough warm bedding to stay comfortable during cold nights.
Lack of Warm Clothing

Greater Vulnerability
Elderly people, children, widows and other vulnerable household members may face greater difficulties during winter.
