The Child Sponsorship Initiative

Supporting Children In Need

We provide funding for the housing and education of a group of 35 underprivileged and vulnerable children from some of the remotest areas of Nepal. The children all come from villages with limited access to schooling, food and sanitary living conditions. The children are now under the care of the Light House Foundation Nepal, one of our key partners in Nepal. Our primary objective is to ensure that the children are able to continue to live in a safe and nurturing environment while receiving an education that will provide a foundation for their future development.

We are in need of regular donations to continue our support of these children;

To see profiles of the children and select one to sponsor, or if you would like to make a one-off general donation towards the care of the children, click on General Donation.

Samuel Tamang

In April 2015, a devastating earthquake struck Nepal, killing thousands and destroying the lives of many more. Samuel was only 7 months old when his mother, in desperation following the loss of everything she had, was forced to abandon him.

Since that moment, LHFN has been Samuel’s family, providing him with a loving environment and the resources he needs to grow. As he has grown older, he has come to understand the love and care that the LHFN house showed when nobody else wanted him.

Today, that abandoned child is a hardworking student in Grade 3 at Christian Community School who aspires to be a successful police officer in the future.

Anjali Pariyar

Anjali Pariyar is from Bardiya, one of Nepal’s least developed regions, which suffers from extreme poverty and hardship. Most of the men in this region leave their families behind in search of work abroad. Anjali’s parents passed away when she and her siblings were very young. Her sister was subsequently sold into slavery in India and there was a high chance that Anjali would meet the same fate.

Anjali was taken to LHFN after being rescued from her village, along with her three sisters. She is overjoyed to be under the care of LHFN because she has access to everything she needs to grow and improve. She is putting a lot of effort into her goal of becoming a flight hostess, and she has been studying diligently.
