We raise funds for initiatives that support social integration for children with disabilities to live in the community and within safe and loving homes.

What do we do?

• New Futures Nepal empowers disadvantaged children and adults of Nepal by raising funds for initiatives that promote health, education and independence. 

• We support and advocate for social integration for children with disabilities to live in the community and within safe and loving homes.

• We adopt a hands-on, personal approach, keep our administration costs low and work with local organisations and charities in Nepal and worldwide to facilitate the charity’s goals and aims.

We focus on three key things:

1. Children

   We work in partnership with three registered NGOs, one in Kathmandu, Nepal (Disabled Welfare Association (DWA) Nepal - The Hope Centre), one in Kalimpong, West Bengal, India (Hope Family Trust - Hornbeam House) and Cerebral Palsy Nepal in Kathmandu. The former two of these NGOs provide loving homes, shelter, and education for disadvantaged and/or children with disabilities. Without our help, these children would have little hope for the future. The homes also provide full-time employment for about 10 adults. Cerebral Palsy Nepal (which is Nepal’s only non-governmental and non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting families with cerebral palsy) is the umbrella organisation responsible for the Bhaktapur Parents Group in Kathmandu (which provides education, physiotherapy, and activity provision for children with cerebral palsy). New Futures Nepal financially supports the activities of the Bhaktapur Mothers Group.
   

2. Education

   Higher education and/or vocational training is available for all of the young adults leaving their homes. Its purpose is to equip them with qualifications and skills so they are able to live independently. 
   

3. Lifelines

   These schemes enable the provision of financial aid to individuals, organisations and communities who are experiencing hardship and are in need of immediate help. Each Lifeline must meet the aims and objectives of the charity and an annual budget is allocated for the Lifelines Scheme. For instance, in partnership with Everest Mera Foundation, we provided financial aid following the devastating 2015 earthquake in Nepal and more recently we worked with communities during and after the Covid 19 pandemic.

How do we fundraise for Nepal?

Our projects are funded by donations either through: regular donations, our Sponsor a Child Scheme, fundraising events, grants from other registered charitable organisations, and/or one-off donations from individuals and businesses.

Donate to Nepal & Sponsor a Child:

Regular donations are the lifeblood of our charity in Nepal, without them we cannot plan to care for more children in the future. We are dedicated to providing ongoing funds for the daily expenses, education and healthcare of the children living in the two homes. Set up a regular donation or talk to your employer about their Give As You Earn (GAYE) scheme.

Our Sponsor a Child Scheme is a hugely popular way of supporting New Futures Nepal. By making a regular donation, you have the option to receive annual updates from one of the children supported by New Futures Nepal.

Fundraising events:

These can range from a car boot sale or coffee morning in aid of New Futures Nepal to a local music festival and personal physical challenges (such as walking the Coast to Coast or cycling from Land’s End to John O’Groats). The charity works with several Challenge Event organisers who run the event and manage all the risks. Given that New Futures Nepal was created by a group of enthusiastic walkers, organised treks have played a big part in our fundraising. These either take place in Nepal itself (e.g. Everest trek) or around the UK. We welcome corporate teams to fundraise for Nepal via our events and we are able to work closely with employers to produce bespoke events through our Challenge Event partners.
