Namaste!

Thank you for your interest in our site and the children at the Social Development Center Nepal (SDCN).

The SDCN is home to thirteen orphaned Nepali children and is located in central Kathmandu. The children Asmita, Nabin, Bikram, Milan, Nishan, Soma, Tulasi, Suttam, Naresh, Srijana, Chek, Dipesh and Kopila are cared for by didis, or “big sisters”, Ruth and Horimya.

The SDC is a registered NGO (non-government organization) and non-profit organisation. All work undertaken is on a voluntary basis, with the exception of the two home carers. All funds raised are by donation and predominately from overseas sources connected to the orphanage.

These are thirteen wonderful children who have been brought together under very sad and difficult circumstances. Despite this they are all now part of a larger family that extends across the world. Without spending time with them it is difficult to understand how infectious all of their personalities are and how loving and affectionate they are with their visitors and with each other. Each child has 12 other brothers and sisters and they care for one another and share a passion and energy that is inspiring.

We invite you to read the rest of our site and learn more about our children, their home and our goals. We ask you to consider joining us in our quest to a create a better life for these children and to give them the opportunity to be strong, healthy, well educated Nepali citizens.
