Visiting orphanages

Pack for a Purpose does not condone visiting orphanages, as this can often lead to negative impacts on children. The accommodation or tour company working with the orphanage will deliver the supplies in a coordinated and respectful way so that the children can benefit from them. Your generosity is not diminished because you do not interact with the children.

Project Description

In 2009, local philanthropist Neel Thakuri had the idea of starting an orphanage. Mountain Madness encouraged him and helped him renovate a traditional farmhouse in his childhood village, 3 hours outside of Kathmandu. Neel has proven its success, both to the local community and to donors. The children attend a nearby school Neel helped to build. With 2 house mothers and a tutor, the children have made dramatic changes, both academically and socially.
