Ashah Orphanage

Hello, my name is Stephen and I am raising for Ashah Orphanage in Nepal. My friend, Assad Shah helped start the orphanage in it's early days and was continuously doing what he can to support them.

Assad passed away earlier this year, and as a memory, we would like to continue to raise money and awareness for the foundation in his honor.

ABOUT ASHAH ORPHANAGE:

http://www.ashah.ch/index.php/en/

Founded in 1998 by Lakhphuti Sherpa, a devoted woman, Ashah Orphanage takes in orphaned or disadvantaged children, offering them the right to a childhood, education and love.

Set up as a foundation under Swiss law by Brigitte and Patrick Susse, Ashah Orphanage has made a long-term commitment to the authorities in Kathmandu, Nepal. After all, you don't abandon a child twice in your life.

A small number of boys and girls benefit from a warm family environment, quality education and bilingual Nepalese-English teaching. These children are orphans, repudiated or abandoned, sometimes simply because their parents are too poor. Our youngest resident, Drolma-Dekyi, was born in 2005 and was taken in on her second day of life. We are committed to supporting them until they complete their studies and enter the world of work.

We are convinced of the importance of providing these children with the solid foundations they need to succeed in life.
