Every child deserves a life that leads to happiness and opportunity, and you can make that happen by giving to our 2024 Annual Appeal.

While students here in the United States are enjoying the last of their summer holiday, our Kailash Kids have started a brand new school year. With COVID cases high and vaccination numbers still low across Nepal though, this term is progressing completely virtually with remote learning only. Thanks to our experience over the past year however, we were ready and well equipped for this reality.

Excellent news from Nepal! Our senior students (all those 18+) as well as the staff at Kailash Home recently received their COVID vaccinations. Each of the staff and students received a single dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine which means in just two weeks time they will be considered fully inoculated without the need for a secondary dose at this time. The staff at Kailash have reported that all the children are doing well following their vaccinations, and that no one suffered any adverse side effects.

Over recent weeks, even as the United States and other developed nations push to vaccinate large swaths of their populations against COVID-19 and return to a semblance of normal, countries like Nepal have been gripped by a resurgence of the pandemic. But, not all of the news coming from Nepal is so grim! Our Kailash Kids are thriving and staying busy in this new lockdown.

After over 53 weeks of school closures and cancelations, our Kailash Kids are finally heading back for in-person classes!
