She set up an art auction with her school, inviting artists such as Mary Fedden, Lélia Pisarro, Tony Ross, and Ana Maria Pacheco to sell their works, which raised £14,000 for the charity[2]. She would continue to be involved with the charity through donations[7], and involve the schools that she was teaching in to support the art centre[8].
She has also been involved in charity work in Nepal since before the Nepal earthquakes in 2015. She took part in the "Dress A Girl From Around The World" program to donate clothes in Nepal, and worked with Dr. Sumita and her orphanage to prevent girls from being trafficked out of Nepal[5]. She continued to use her connections to her school as a schoolteacher as well as her artwork to raise money for charity through Dr. Sumita's orphanage by holding fundraising art exhibitions in Nepal[5][9]
