Support Krishna & Laxmi & stop their homelessness
Donation protected
We are a group of friends of Krishna and Laxmi, two incredible, loving and giving, well-known locals in the tourist town of Pokhara, Nepal.
Krishna cooks some of the best food in Pokhara, one can tell it is cooked with love. Krishna and Laxmi have opened their hearts to so many, welcoming them as family. And yet they have no close family to support them. This is why we, as their surrogate family help them out.

Our 2022 fundraiser helped them keep their very small restaurant at the beginning of 2023 as a small amount of tourism returned to Nepal. Funds will run out at the end of Oct 2023 and we are looking for, ideally, 3000 AUD to support them through to the end of 2024. We aim to pay most of their 18000 rupee rent a month. Through their small pension and money from the restaurant they can support themselves with food.
Sadly after many years of struggle, losing their restaurant, no tourists for 2 years, they became homeless in 2021. Since then, we have raised enough money to find them a small place to live and for Krishna to keep doing what he loves, which is to cook and meet people.
Krishna has been passionate about cooking all his life and for over a decade, they have run Sun Welcome restaurant. His food is simple but always seems cooked with love, often a meal is accompanied by his laugh and smile. The restaurant generated their small income for living, but when CV-19 pandemic started in early 2020 they lost that source and their landlord wants them to leave immediately.
