Currently over 50 children have been given a home and family at this orphanage, which is located in the lakeside town of Pokhara, 200kms west of the Nepali capital, Kathmandu. They have also started a scholarship program which academically supports needy and poor children that were found to be living in an environment that does not require residency in the home but need financial help. Their goal at the orphanage is to create a family environment where children can feel secure and loved.

In July 2003, Namaste Children was registered in Kaski, Nepal and affiliated in Social Welfare Council-Kathmandu to provide homes for poor, needy and orphan children of Nepal. At this time they now have more than 53 children living with them and another 32 children are supported by the scholarship program.

Mr. Visma Raj Paudel, who is the Chairperson of the Namaste Children’s House, had a dream to provide a safe, loving place for as many needy children as possible. Once the doors of Namaste Children‘s House opened, this dream was realized and already so many children have had their lives changed in such a positive way.

Here I would just like to tell you a little about just a few of the children so that you can see exactly what life these children were used to before they found a new life with Namaste Children’s House.
