Philip Holmes’s Summary
I founded The Trust in September 1999 in memory of my first wife, Esther Benjamins, who died the previous January. The Trust focusses entirely on the most disadvantaged,stigmatised and vulnerable Nepalese children and young people. Since its inception it has grown to become the largest UK charity with Nepalese children as a sole interest but much more needs to be done. I want to see the Trust playing a leading role in ending the trafficking of Nepalese children and in the rehabilitation and therapy of the child victims of trauma. The Trust aims to seek out those children that are hidden from the view of society and to make a real difference to their lives.
