Education For Orphans Of Nepal

Education For Orphans Of Nepal The mission of the Education for Orphans of Nepal charity is very simple. It is to provide an education, and thereby a better future, for Nepalese orphans.

The Origin of EON
For years the MatterhornNepal-GuideSource staff and clients have passed through the small villages of Nepal during cultural hikes, base camp treks and approaches to Himalayan mountain climbs. On a daily basis we are wonderfully intertwined with the local people, many of whom are children. In 2001 our Asian Director, Ang Kami Sherpa, realized that many of these children were actua

lly orphans, and further research exposed a startling fact: the tourist ‘Mecca’ of Nepal is home to nearly one million orphans in a population of only 25 million. This situation woke us up, and we decided MNGS could not continue our guiding business in Nepal without helping these children gain a chance for a better future. Since 80% of accredited Nepalese schools are located in large cities, education is not readily available to rural children; obviously a child with no family has no opportunity at all.
