With the winter fast approaching in Nepal and no proper heating available, we need to do all we can to keep our children warm and healthy at our Birgunj and Dhading children's homes. Fuel and gas shortages and regular electricity cuts mean that we have to use wood for cooking and can only keep warm by campfire. To keep everyone safe this winter we need to buy electric heaters, warm clothes and blankets for all the children and for our baby buffalo that is joining our team very soon.

We are installing Mini-Schools in the villages of the Yangri Valley.

Students are taught by a HimalayanLife teacher, ensuring entry-level knowledge.

After the devastating Earthquake in Nepal in April 2015, many schools have been flattened. Help us to get the Nepali children back into education by rebuilding their schools in the remote area of Makwanpur. This area currently has one of the lowest rates of school attendance in Nepal and Nepal already has one of the worst literacy rates in the world - only 45% of Nepalis complete primary school. If the children have no school to go to, this problem will just get worse.

Children in Nepal are struggling through tough times, whether they are recovering from a devastating earthquake, or economic hardships, or an uncaring environment. Our project aims to build up hope and resilience in these children through the medium of art.
