Aishworya Educational Foundation is run by the Director, Pramila Ghimire, her brother Promod and his wife Binita.
It is supported by Rose Bernstein and Kim Smyth, the international team who help with the website and donations.
Everyone working for Aishworya is a volunteer.
We are also helped out by friends, family and local volunteers, who give the children opportunities for training and apprenticeships that will enable them to get good jobs and become independent.

Pramila Ghimire – Assistant Director
Pramila was a big sister to all the children at Aishworya Children’s Home, and when we became an Educational Foundation she took over as Director.
She takes care of everything from ensuring the children get fed and clothed properly, to finding the right school and overseeing their education, to working with any family the children have, and keeping in touch with donors.
Pramod and Binita Ghimire – Primary Support
Pramod is Pramila’s brother. He has always supported the boys in particular, who see Promod as a companion and role model. Binita has always supported the girls!
Rose Bernstein (Rekha) – UK Treasurer & Donations Coordinator
Rose first volunteered with Aishworya in 2007 and now supports us by managing administration and donations that come through the UK or PayPal. ‘Rekha’ is Rose’s Nepali name.
“I have amazing memories of my time in Nepal. Having been there myself means I can be completely committed to Aishworya because I know first-hand just how fantastic it is, and how well the children are looked after.”
Kimberley Smyth (Kalpana) – Communications Administrator
Kimberley first volunteered at Aishworya in 2009 and now supports us with our website and newsletter communications. ‘Kalpana’ is Kimberley’s Nepali name.
“My time volunteering at Aishworya left a long-lasting impression on me. The children receive so much love and Aishworya is a warm, and wonderful place to be. I’m so glad I can still support from afar.”
