New Bank Account for Emergency Fund
A new bank account has been opened on February 7, 2017 with an aim to provide our beneficiaries with an emergency aid if the need arises. In recent times we have seen our beneficiaries, having been coming from extremely challenging financial backgrounds, are facing financial hazards due to many family and health related problems for which they require immediate financial aid. To address such an issue previously we had raised funds through email and social media, but to find a long term solution Srijan Sujan has made the decision of building an emergency fund.
