Okay, here’s a breakdown of the information from the text, geared towards understanding the campaign and how to help.

Campaign: #KMporNepal

Goal: Raise €7480 to renovate the infrastructure and furniture at the Balmandir Children’s House in Bhimphedi, Nepal. This amount symbolically represents the 7480 km distance between Barcelona and Bhimphedi.

Who is involved:

* Amics del Nepal: the NGO that built and manages the Balmandir Children’s House for the past 17 years (as 2007).
* Miguel Luque Ávila: Olympic medalist who is kicking off the challenge on April 8th.
* You! The campaign is asking for public participation.

What is Balmandir Children’s House?

* A home for children in Bhimphedi, Nepal (60km from Kathmandu).
* Has housed nearly 200 children over its history.
* Currently home to 34 children.
* Provides living conditions, healthcare, and education.
* “Balmandir” means “children’s temple” in Nepali.

Why is the renovation needed?

* The furniture and infrastructure are 17 years old and need replacing/repairing.
* Specifically, they need to:
* Repair the roof (leaks and water stains)
* Build/replace beds and bunks
* Buy mattresses, pillows, and bedding
* Purchase wardrobes, benches, and tables for the dining room
* Repair general damages

How can you help?

  1. Run/Swim/Climb (Cover Kilometers): Participate in the #KMporNepal challenge by tracking your kilometers. The idea is that kilometers covered will translate into donations.
  2. Donate (Crowdfunding): Contribute financially to the €7480 goal.
  3. Spread the Word (Disseminate the Campaign): Share the campaign with others to increase awareness and participation.
