For over twenty years it has been our vision and goal to provide opportunities, education, and support to the children of Nepal. Help us continue that dream by contributing to our 2025 Annual Appeal!

We know that many of our friends & sponsors around the world have been aware of the recent political upheaval in Nepal, including the widespread protests, their tragic aftermath, and all that has transpired since. We want to share that Kailash and all of our children were safe and well through these tumultuous events. Our staff has been in constant contact with our international partners, including the team on the ground in Nepal, and as always, the safety and happiness of our Kailash Kids is our first priority.

Every child deserves a life that leads to happiness and opportunity, and you can make that happen by giving to our 2024 Annual Appeal.
