Who are Helping Hands for Nepal?
Helping Hands for Nepal was founded in response to the devastating earthquakes that struck Nepal in April and May 2015. Thousands of lives were lost, entire communities were destroyed, and schools, homes and vital infrastructure were reduced to rubble.
Helping Vulnerable Children and Communities in Nepal
Helping Hands for Nepal supports vulnerable children and communities in some of Nepal’s poorest and most remote areas.
Since 2015, we have worked alongside trusted local partners to improve children’s access to education, provide safe accommodation for vulnerable children and support practical projects that can make a lasting difference to families and communities.
Our approach is simple: listen to local communities, support practical solutions and make sure your donations are used where they are needed most.
Together, we believe that even the smallest helping hand can change a life.
Help Us Build a Safe Home for Vulnerable Children in Kalikot
Our current priority is helping our local partner, Nyano Kaakh Sewa Samaj, provide safe and suitable accommodation for vulnerable children in Kalikot, one of Nepal’s remote mountain districts.
The children currently live in rented accommodation which is no longer suitable for their needs. Land has been secured for a new building and preparations are underway.
Helping Hands for Nepal is raising funds towards the construction of this new accommodation.
Why this project matters
These children need more than a roof over their heads. They need a safe, stable environment where they can live, attend school and have the opportunity to build a better future.
We are working with our Nepalese partner to support the project while ensuring that the work is properly planned, monitored and managed.

What We Do
We believe that lasting change comes from supporting practical projects identified by the communities themselves.
Education
We support schools and educational projects in remote areas of Nepal, helping children learn in safer, more suitable environments.
Our projects have included additional classrooms, school improvements, educational resources and practical support for children who might otherwise struggle to access education.
Safe Accommodation for Vulnerable Children
We support our trusted Nepalese partners in providing safe accommodation and care for vulnerable children.
Our current project in Kalikot will help provide a suitable new home for children who need a secure and supportive place to live while continuing their education.
Supporting Communities
Children’s wellbeing is closely connected to the communities in which they live.
Where appropriate, we support practical projects that help schools, families and communities overcome some of the challenges created by poverty, remoteness and difficult living conditions.

Our Work in Nepal
Nepal is a country we know and love, but many children living in remote rural communities face challenges that can be difficult for us to imagine.
Mountainous terrain, poverty and limited access to services can make something as basic as reaching school a significant challenge.
We concentrate our support where it can make a practical difference, working with people on the ground who understand their communities and their needs.
Our projects have included work in Rasuwa, Sindhupalchok and Kalikot, as well as other communities in Nepal.
[WHERE WE WORK]
Making a Difference Since 2015
Helping Hands for Nepal was established following the devastating earthquakes that struck Nepal in 2015.
What began as an immediate response to the needs of children and families developed into a longer-term commitment to supporting communities in some of Nepal’s poorest and most remote areas.
Since then, we have supported projects including:
- Improvements to schools and classrooms
- Additional classrooms following earthquake and landslide damage
- Educational resources for children
- School clothing and practical support
- Support for children and families affected by poverty
- Community projects identified by our local partners
- Support towards safe accommodation for vulnerable children
We are proud of what has been achieved, but there is still much more to do.

Real Projects. Real People. Real Difference.
We don’t believe in simply sending money and walking away.
We work with trusted people in Nepal who understand the communities they support.
We visit projects where possible, receive updates from our partners and seek to understand how funds are being used and what difference they are making.
We are also committed to keeping our fundraising proportionate and responsible. We are a small charity and we know that every pound donated matters.
