Our Friends in Nepal

After serious earthquakes struck Nepal in 2015, Thrive Training owners Chris and Katharine Floro joined a disaster relief trip to assist in recovery efforts. While in Nepal they met  Rajan Sunar, a pastor with a heart for raising up his country--the beginning of a wonderful friendship on both sides! 

Thrive has been privileged to sponsor many development projects over the years in Nepal through partnership with Pastor Rajan and his community. In 2021, our friends in Nepal were able to realize their dream of founding an NGO to greatly expand their work on community development and human trafficking prevention, including opportunities for partnership with Nepalese government and official agencies. 

Our shared dream is to see JCDS Nepal continue to grow and create sustainable, lasting change for the people of Nepal. What might seem a small gift for you can make an incredible difference to the communities JCDS Nepal serves. 

JCDS Nepal Provides:

  • Human Trafficking Prevention

    Because of widespread poverty, young adults in Nepal (particularly women) are commonly targeted by human traffickers in other countries. JCDS Nepal is developing surveillance stations at border crossing points in partnership with the government to identify girls and women at risk of trafficking, provide counseling, and plan for their long-term needs in a safer way.

  • Microbusiness

    Limited economic opportunity leaves many young adults in Nepal, especially young women, vulnerable to human traffickers promising jobs outside the country. One critical way JCDS Nepal fights human trafficking is by enabling women and girls to begin their own home businesses in trades like sewing and animal husbandry through training, equipment, and ongoing support, with the goal that they will become self-sufficient business owners.

  • Agricultural Development

    JCDS Nepal creates opportunities for communities to start and develop sustainable agriculture as a way to supplement and increase their income. They provide plants, supplies, and ongoing education to help promote successful and profitable gardens.

  • Education

    Many areas in Nepal suffer from reduced access to schools. JCDS Nepal hires teachers to serve remote areas and supports educational development in partnership with regional government.

  • Healthcare

    JCDS Nepal partners with local organizations, such as hospitals, to host medical clinics in under-resourced areas of Nepal.
