Mandala House Final Update

Mid-March saw 5 disabled adults and their carer move in to Mandala House (to join the ground’s guard and family) where they will make their new home.

Following some finishing touches, this represents the culmination of a year’s hard work by New Futures Nepal and our partners in Nepal and is a joyous event for all involved.

Our Chairman Andrew Small said of the occassion:

“For most, Mandala House is more than just a home—it’s a launchpad to independence. Just as the Hope Centre has provided a foundation of care and opportunity for children over the years, Mandala House is the next step for those who need longer-term support as they work towards building independent lives.

Mandala House represents something ground-breaking: a supported living model rarely seen in Nepal—a safe, nurturing place where adults with disabilities can develop the skills, confidence, and stability they need to establish themselves in the wider world.

This is an important precedent for Kathmandu, proving that with the right support, disability does not mean dependence. The journey is just beginning, and we can’t wait to see the transformations ahead!

Thank you for making this possible. Your support has laid the foundation—not just of a building, but of new opportunities, new ambitions, and new hope.”

Our new Mandala House family welcomes you to their new home.

Tilak Shrestha, House Manager of the Hope Centre and now Mandala House, thanked everyone for making this momentous day possible, saying:

“Namaste everyone 🙏

Hooray! We have finally moved into our new building, Mandala House! We sincerely thank the New Futures Nepal trustees and team, our kind-hearted supporters, well-wishers, and the dedicated construction team. We are deeply grateful to all of you. At last, we have achieved our goal, making life much easier and happier for adults with disabilities.

All the best wishes

Tilak bhai xx”

The new home made the perfect backdrop for recent Holi Festival celebrations, with residents enjoying some fun with colour and water.

The total raised to date for the Mandala House Project stands at £63,518
