Sertshang Orphanage Home
In the Sertshang Orphanage Home in Kathmandu between 20 and 30 children and adolescents of different ethnicities live together. Here they have found not only a loving and safe home, but they also receive a good education.
The majority of them are orphans and, before they came to the orphanage, their lives were often marked by hunger, violence and neglect. Only very few of them had been to school. The children are accommodated in two houses: the girls’ house and the boys' house. The home, which has a garden and a sports field, is situated in Kimdol, a quiet district of Swoyambunath on the outskirts of Kathmandu.
The children’s home is managed by Methok Lama. She knows from her own experience how children feel without a family, and how valuable a safe home is. Methok is not only the manager, but also a mother and sister for the children and young people in the home.
The small team includes the cook Radhika Karki, as well as a household help. They all live like one large family, which gives the children a great feeling of security. Very early on they learn to take responsibility for themselves and the community. The older children take care of the little ones, and they all help with the housework.
The orphanage is recognized by the Nepalese state, and is financed entirely by private donations.
