We support school education and children's homes in Nepal & India

Since 1995, we have been supporting selected projects in Nepal and India on a voluntary basis with our sponsors and friends with a great deal of commitment and love. What drives us are the shining eyes of the children and young people whom we help to lead a self-determined life. Will you join us?

Ashraya Foundation Nepal

In Nepal, too, the basis for a self-determined life is a good education. In many families, however, parents are unable to finance this despite working hard. It is particularly difficult for families from remote mountain villages, as they have to send their children to the capital Kathmandu for a good school and then have to pay for a hostel. The Ashraya Foundation, our partner in Nepal, enables the children to attend a better or a secondary school.

Yamuna Children´s Home

Serki Sherpa, godson of our founder, founded the “Yamuna Children's Home” on the outskirts of Kathmandu in 2015. Together, he and his wife Laxmi look after around 30 orphans and children from precarious backgrounds. Three meals a day, lessons at the nearby school, small chores and tasks, play and leisure time, a family atmosphere - it sounds like a matter of course, but for the children it is a life they have never known before.

WIDE Children’s Home

The “WIDE Children's Home” was founded in 2003 by Kumari Xavier in South India in the state of Tamil Nadu. She herself grew up in a children's home and made it her life's mission to provide a sense of security and love to needy children. Her motto: “Every child deserves a family”. Around 30 boys and girls grow up here under her care. She receives help from her daughter Priya, whom the children affectionately call Didi (i.e. big sister).
