Our Field Partner has been successfully operating their vulnerable children’s homes in Pokhara since 2004. Over the years, the homes have given hundreds, even thousands, of children a place to live, play and learn while they recover from the trauma of trafficking.

In recent years, the cost to run the homes has increased significantly—mainly due to increasing rent. Some landlords refuse to rent their properties to children who have experienced sexual exploitation, choosing to distance themselves from the prevailing stigma attached to trafficking victims. Others are willing to rent their properties—but for a greatly increased cost.

The cost to maintain the rented homes poses another ongoing challenge for our Field Partner. The buildings are typically older and require constant repairs, costing our Field Partner dearly each year.

To continue supporting vulnerable children, our Field Partner needs help to build their very own rent-free, permanent homes in Nepal. The new buildings would be built sustainably, using quality materials and workmanship, which would minimise maintenance costs and provide our Field Partner with the means to become fully self-sufficient.

Your support of The Pokhara Project will allow these new homes to be constructed. Once complete, the new homes will give children, families and carers improved security and stability for many years to come.

Our End of Financial Year Appeal 2022 is raising funds to construct 14 new vulnerable children’s homes in Pokhara, Nepal as part of The Pokhara Project. Your tax-deductible gifts will help us move closer to commencing construction of these new homes. Any gift you give, large or small, will make a lasting impact and be greatly appreciated. The homes will collectively provide up to 150 children at a time with a safe and loving home for as long as they need it. Best of all, 100% goes directly to the field!

No, these building items and materials are examples of how your gift might be used to support the construction of vulnerable children’s homes. The price of building materials can vary month-to-month, and the exact number of materials needed for construction may also fluctuate.

However, while your gift does not directly purchase the materials mentioned, we guarantee that every single dollar will be used to support the construction of new buildings as part of The Pokhara Project. In addition, if you choose to fully fund an entire vulnerable children’s home, or the whole building which includes two homes each, your support will be allocated directly to this cause.

It is always our intention to represent our international development work as accurately as possible. The information shared above is based on the building plans currently in motion, which have been designed based on the ages and needs of the children currently cared for by 3 Angels Nepal. However, once construction is complete, details such as the age of the children living in each home, or the number or pairings of each specific home within the one building, may change. Any alterations would take place at our Field Partner’s discretion and would be based on the number of children requiring support within each age group. It will also take into consideration the best use of the new facilities and space.

Short answer: as soon as possible! Realistically, it may be a few years before we can begin construction. The land has been purchased, and the architectural designs are ready to go. Now we need to raise the funds to complete the build. The vulnerable children’s homes are one part of the The Pokhara Project—and to ensure the most efficient and cost-effective building process we will wait to commence construction on the full sustainable building project. This means waiting until The Pokhara Project is fully funded. The sooner we reach our funding goal, the sooner we can begin—the ideal time to start building works in Nepal is in September of any given year, due to the monsoon season.
