Chatmandu - Love & Support for the Children’s Home

The Children's Home in the Sano Khokana, Kathmandu in Nepal supports orphaned and underprivileged children from all across Nepal - ranging from infancy to high school age. This privately funded orphanage, established in 1989, attempts to provide the warmth of a family and infrastructure to its children (currently 53), setting them up for an independent future.

My name is Henry Hemant Flaton, a 18-year-old born in Kathmandu, raised in New York City, and currently a student at the Westminster School in Simsbury, CT. During my Christmas break in 2022, I returned for a third visit to the Children's Home in Kathmandu. It is my hope to give back in any way I can to support the daily well-being of the children.

The immediate needs at the Children’s Home are educational support (school fees) and school uniforms.

Children until the age of 16 attend the nearby Asmita English School. Of the 41 children under 16 currently living at the Children’s Home, only 34 are enrolled in the school. The youngest 7 children were previously not able to attend school because there was no sponsorship for their tuition. For approximately $50 a month - or $600 - a year one child can attend the Asmita English School. You can find out more information about the seven children that need school support on my website.

We were able to secure funding to send these 7 children (5 girls and 2 boys) to school this past year. Now I have to follow up on my commitment and raise funds to make it a recurring sponsorship until their graduation. To learn more about Chatmandu, the name of my project, and the Children's Home please go to my website, Chatmandu.org.

I hope you can support my effort by donating. Every dollar is appreciated and will help. Thank you!
