Our Vision

Nepal Orphans Home envisions establishing a permanent campus in the Kathmandu valley. Currently all of our buildings and grounds are leased. We hope to purchase one to two hectares of property (roughly two to five acres) outside of Kathmandu city, where we will have our four Papa’s Houses that together could accommodate up to 200 children. Individual rooms in the homes will be equipped with bunk beds, desks, and lockers for several children. In each home will be a study hall equipped with personal computers and Internet connection. A common dining hall would serve all of the children.

A volunteer hostel on the campus will accommodate the continual flow of NOH volunteers. A large training room will be used for workshops and classes, including sewing and crafts. Adult literacy classes offered to the local community by our older children and volunteers will also be held in this room. All the buildings, while following traditional Nepalese style, will be equipped with environmentally-sustainable technologies. The homes and volunteer house will be outfitted with solar panels to provide hot water, and efficient lighting. Our dining hall would employ solar ovens and solar refrigerators. A large garden will ensure a supply of fresh vegetables. An extended area will be reserved for a playground. Hardwood and fruit trees will be carefully planted about the campus for shade and nutrition.  Also positioned on the campus will be smaller buildings housing a woodworking shop to make all of our furniture and desks as well as teaching woodworking to the children, and an automotive shop for teaching motorcycle and car repair. Walking paths will connect all the buildings. A jogging path will follow the perimeter of the land to be enclosed by a security wall.

Our vision includes a school from kindergarten through grade 8 on our campus. We will hire dedicated teachers for a challenging curriculum to prepare our children for secondary school and higher education. The school will have science and math labs and an information technology center equipped with personal computers linked to the Internet. We will have an endowment to pay for the teachers and a scholarship fund to send our most gifted students to institutions of higher education. We aspire to having all of our children receive a quality education, allowing each to realize their potentials.
