Sponsor a child
MonthlyA regular sponsorship helps pay one child’s school fees, bed, meals, clothing and stationery through the year. Sponsorships cover the day‑to‑day running of the house, and we are still looking for more sponsors.
Support us
Five ways to keep this home running
Yamuna Children’s Home has no endowment and no government funding. Sponsorships and donations pay its bills — school fees, food, clothes and the upkeep of the house.
Sponsor one part of it
Any amountYou can also contribute towards food, stationery, school fees or clothing on their own — whichever you prefer.
Give where it is most needed
Any amountThese donations go towards repairs, equipment, and the things that come up in any household of thirty children.
Bring something useful
In kindRe‑usable clothes, furniture, stationery and household goods are all welcome. If you are in Kathmandu, get in touch before you come.
Volunteer with us
