Current Status 2009
We are registered in NSW as an Dharmik Australia Incorporated, accountable to our membership.
We are voluntary, not-for-profit and non-government. Incorporation number INC9888264.
Dharmik helps to fund four struggling children's homes which are home to 60 children and babies. We also support a disabled children's home in rural Nepal, Kavre district. This year we are working on a project with Rotary Australia to build income earning capacity for one of Nepal's largest orphanage known as Bal Mandir. We have an urgent project to build a house for the SAI home children who have been told by the local authorities that their home is too small and they must upgrade within one year. These children are in continued need of you help.
Start changing a child's life NOW
We hope to be members of ACFID by the end of this year. ACFID is an independent national association of Australian non-government organisations (NGOs) working in the field of international aid and development. Membership will be a mark of professionalism and maturity for us. In 2010 we are seeking approved organisation status through AUSAID for the OAGDS (Overseas Aid Gift Deduction Scheme) and we are also seeking to establish a developing country relief fund through the ATO.
Right now we need...
- to buy land and build a house in Nepal for the wonderful people at the SAI children's home.
- more child sponsors to support the cost of food, shelter, education and medical care.
- financial support through donations.
- ongoing support which allows us to make ongoing commitments in Nepal.
- sponsors for the 60 children we currently aim to support at $1 per day to give them a hand up not a hand out.
- new members to compliment the association and bring new ideas.
- people good at writing government submissions.
- fund raising ideas and activities.
- a financial controller to keep track of our spending in Nepal
