Our first project in 2002/03 was to help an orphanage known as ‘The Hope Centre’ in Kathmandu, which was being run by Nepali volunteers. The Hope Centre was home to thirteen disabled and orphaned children. Learning of its precarious financial position we decided to help rather than watch the home close and the children be forced to take their chances on the street. We raised funds in the UK to pay off the arrears of rent, enrol the children at schools and provide them with regular nourishing meals.
Our Sponsor A Child scheme was launched the following year. It is the lifeblood of our organisation because regular monthly income allows us to plan for the future with confidence. At the same time as launching the Sponsorship scheme we were fortunate to receive a large legacy from a good friend of the charity. This enabled us to start a major construction project in Kathmandu. You can read about these and all our activities in more details by going to the news section and clicking on our achievements. Please do click on these links and learn more about us. We hope you will feel inspired to help.
Since that time we have provided funds for specialist medical care to individual children, helped support 2 street children projects in Kathmandu and are now funding the further education fees of two of the older girls from the Hope Centre.
We currently support 30 resident children, 2 young adults and 2 disabled adults in homes in Kathmandu and Kalimpong, Northern India. We provide funds for the salaries of 7 carers for these homes
We have built one purpose built home for disabled children in Kathmandu and are about to start our second building project in Kalimpong. Please click on www.newfuturesnepal.org/buyabrick and lend your support to our project to provide a permanent home for some of the world’s most deprived children.
Thank you
