We recently welcomed two staff members to our team in Nepal, and we're thrilled to introduce you to the newest members of our Kailash family! Both Novita Rai, our new Academic Coordinator, and Swati Singh, our new Hostel in Charge, bring incredible passion and experience to their roles and are already working wonders with our Kailash Kids. Read on to learn more about Novita and Swati.

We’re thrilled to introduce you to our newest class of Kailash Kids! Sonam Choedon Gurung (10), Fudeme Bhote (7), and Diki Khando Lama (6) recently arrived at Kailash Home and are settling into their new routine and schools. It is a bittersweet season for us every year as we celebrate our graduating seniors and also welcome some fresh new faces to campus. It will be exciting to watch these students grow and thrive over the coming years, and before too long, we’ll be celebrating their graduations too.

As we approach Earth Day this year, let’s take a minute to reflect on some of the ways life at Kailash Home serves not only the residents of campus but also the sustainability of Mother Earth!

One of our favorite things is witnessing the beautiful, happy smiles of our children. We know that all children need support in a multitude of areas and that includes when it comes to overall health and wellness. All of our #KailashKids receive regular dental exams to ensure that they are maintaining good dental hygiene and to check for any issues.

Just like that, it’s time to celebrate and say goodbye to our Class of 2024.

Family is the beating heart of Kailash Home, and the foundation that allows our children to flourish and succeed not only at every stage of their time with us, but also as they go out into their young adult lives. Seeing the intersection of these different factions of our wider Kailash family is an incredibly gratifying marker of success, and recently, we’ve been thrilled to witness a whole new era of Kailash Alumni involvement!

Our 2023 Annual Appeal is now, and we need your help! Give before November 30th and your gift will be matched dollar for dollar.

It was a busy summer, and things have been bustling for our Kailash Kids and staff in Nepal! Over recent months, we’ve seen the completion of several longtime projects on campus including new property fencing, an updated playground area, refreshed roofing on our girls dormitory building, improved drainage infrastructure, and more.

It’s always an exciting time of year when we welcome a new class of children to Kailash. They don’t know it yet, but their lives have just shifted forever.
