Nepal Investment Bank Limited (NIBL) has contributed Rs 640,000 to help the UNHCR with the Jhapa Bhutani refugee camps. Compassion fatigue among donors has meant falling assistance for the 110,000 refugees living in seven camps since 1991, many of whom were born here.

"We are pleased to support UNHCR's noble cause of educating the refugees. This is part of our corporate social responsibility," said Prithvi Pand?, NIBL chairman and CEO. The contribution will be used for primary schools in the camps. UNHCR Nepal rep Abraham Abraham called the grant "landmark private sector support".
