1. Working with the orphanage homes

According to our statistical survey, there are about 100, 000 orphans and wandering children across Nepal. Many children escape to find a better life. More than 5000 escaped children are living in the capital city alone. Some of the reasons behind this may be political, social, economic or due to natural disasters. In this program volunteers will be placed in an orphanage. Some placements allow the volunteer to live within the orphanage; however volunteers can also choose to be placed with our local host family located within walking distance from the orphanage. We have 20 orphanage homes in Kathmandu and around Nepal.
