Self-introduction to our association, Forum for the Welfare of Himalayan Children, Nepal

Poor and orphan children of Nepal, who through no fault of their own,  are born into unbearable adversity, get support for their schooling and provided necessary protection in our existing premises in Kaski District and Lalitpur. child
We try to bring smiles to many destitute and under previledged children of Nepal through our many supporting activities implemented in the country and bring hopes for their better lives in their life ahead.

groupphotoEvolving from private activities to help children in need back in January 1995,  the “Forum for the Welfare of Himalayan Children (FWHC)” was founded and affiliated with concerned authorities of Nepal Government.  With the financial help from ‘alike’ minded friends and association in Germany, it started providing shelter and education to many poor and needy children since then. At the moment, Forum for the welfare of Himalayan Children cares around 100 Children in it’s orphanage in Kaski District and in Lalitpur district. By extension and further construction activities we hope to assure a place to live, food, school education and career advancement as well as medical treatment for about 150 children.


Aim of the association

The ‘Forum for the Welfare of Himalayan Children (FWHC)’ is an association to help and bring forward poor and needy children of Nepal. FWHC provides them with accommodation, food, daily care, medical supervision, free school education and career advancement. Caste and religious affiliation are of no importance.

Past activities of the Association

http://www.nepalhilfe.de/pics/childrens_village2.jpgIn 1995 a fairly big house was rented in the centre of Pokhara. Until 2001 29 children lived there under the supervision of a Nepalese staff members, who lived with them in the house. At the end of 1997 and again in 2003 the FWHC with financial support of FNH, its German Counterpartner, was able to buy an estate of 17.000 qm. The first construction activity for the children’s village was building a water pipe to this area. Further construction activities between 1999 and 2003 were three children’s houses, one workshop, a store, a health station with an office and a neighbouring school for approximately 600 students. The children’s village got electricity and road access as well a solar kitchen and specifically built compost toilets. The compost toilets had to be removed because of less and less acceptance by the inhabitants. Chicken and rabbits are kept and farmland is cultivated with local vegetables. Between 2003 and 2005 another 37 children were accepted and the number of staff members doubled since the beginning of our project.

Future Plans

In future we want to accommodate up to 150 children and for that purpose to extend the three houses and built new houses. Our future aims comprise a sponsorship for the children or a stock for financial security for the children, education and advanced training for the bad or not at all trained teachers and their financial upgrading.
We aim for an apprenticeship promotion after the school education, financial support for an apprenticeship training or university degree at a Nepali university, medical supply and consultancy for the local communities.


The whole purpose of a support after leaving school is giving the children a future perspective in their own country. We want to give them a broad and sufficient education with the chance to get a good employment in Nepal.


A support to the villagers of Singdi, Pasgaon VDC, Lamjung District:

Development project for the village Singdi – Lamjung through building a health station and establishing a hydro power project financed by the BMZ funds and FNH together with “Nepalhilfe im kleinen Rahmen”.
At two-days-walk from Pokhara the mountain village Singdi is situated at a height of 2000 m with approx. 300 households and 2500 inhabitants. Taking into account the neighbouring villages around Singdi, about 6000 people benefit from the village development project. Dammed mountain water is guided via a tube system into the turbines, which will produce enough electricity for Singdi and the surrounding villages. Every connected household pays 120 Rs per month to cover the ongoing costs of the hydro power facility. Left over money will later be used for the health post of the village. During the Health Camps a team of doctors will do visits to the village for some days distributed over a whole year. They offer free treatment and even operations. If we have put the project into practice no village inhabitant has to walk the long way to the remote hospital in Pokhara and die from his/her at first minor diseases.
