Donations

Each year it costs, at minimum, US$800 to feed, clothe and educate one child at the Social Development Center Nepal. Contributions from donors go towards overheads such as rent, electricity, food, medical expenses, school fees and the salary of the two carers, Ruth and Horimya.

To raise this money the orphanage depends on positive word of mouth from the friends and families of the volunteers and the goodwill of trekkers and tourists.

Below is an idea of what your donation can give these children;

$2 - 1.5kg of Paneer which is a cheese although it is quite similar to Tofu. The children eat this only occasionally as a way of getting protein.

$10 - 25 exercise books for school

$30 - Ruth or Horimya's wage for one month

$60 - 8 pairs of underwear for each child i.e. 104 pairs of underwear

$100 - Electricity for the home for 6 months

It is often said that 'every little bit helps' and in this instance this phrase holds true. This orphanage is run in the most efficient and lean manner possible, however this is mostly out of necessity. No amount is too small and we appreciate anything you are able to contribute.

If you would like to help, please contact one of the International Members so we can answer any questions that you may have.
