‘Empowering Girls in Nepal’ Partnership Terminated.

27 11 2020 Additional Information received earlier today.

To find out more click on Empowering Girls in Nepal – FAQs – Final Version – 25 November 2020.

20 11 2020 from SIGBI News Briefing:

SIGBI Ltd has terminated its partnership with ChoraChori UK (now Pipal Tree), to deliver the Empowering Girls in Nepal Project.

The Letter of Agreement (LOA) between SIGBI Ltd and ChoriChori UK, (now Pipal Tree), became frustrated by the fact that ChoraChori Nepal is no longer implementing the agreed project in Nepal.  This makes the LOA null and void.

No Further Donations to be Submitted:

Members please note that no further donations are to be submitted to SIGBI Ltd for the Empowering Girls in Nepal project.
