Welcome to Aishworya Educational Foundation!
Aishworya Foundation now supports 12 children, providing them with the opportunity for a good education. We work with their families, many of whom are vulnerable, to help them build their strength and resilience, and work towards independence in the future.
Our history
Aishworya was set up as a Children’s Home in 2005, when Nirmala Ghimire began looking after some children she found on the streets – they were homeless and hungry, and although she initially took them to an orphanage, the conditions there were so bad that she made the decision to take care of them herself instead.
Aishworya grew quickly as social services began bringing us more children who needed looking after, and for 14 years we have provided a safe home, nutritious meals, and a good education to hundreds of children.
In 2019, with times changing and less need for children’s homes in Nepal, we shifted from a residential children’s home and become instead an Educational Foundation, enabling the children who were being supported by Aishworya Children’s Home (ages 6-17) to receive continued care and education until they can become independent.
Many of Aishworya’s children are now grown up, working in Nepal and abroad. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments!
