Description:

The orphanage Children of Sagarmatha opened on 31 November 2002 in the northeast of Kathmandu. The home takes in children with a difficult past; they have either lost their mother or father, or come from large families living in poverty.

The orphanage currently welcomes almost 50 children and youngsters. The children generally arrive at the orphanage at the age of 5 or 6. They leave the orphanage at the end of their schooling (18 years old) or later if they pursue their studies.

The center provides them with a stable life and family environment, as well as a complete education. The objective of the orphanage is to give the children the possibility of growing and living in Nepal in good conditions.

Children of Sagarmatha is supervised by a local NGO * and under the responsibility of local staff.

Established at the end of 2010, the Swiss Organization Sagarmatha was set up to raise funds in Switzerland to ensure the long-term viability of the Children of Sagarmatha orphanage.
