We’re thrilled to introduce you to our newest class of Kailash Kids! Sonam Choedon Gurung (10), Fudeme Bhote (7), and Diki Khando Lama (6) recently arrived at Kailash Home and are settling into their new routine and schools. It is a bittersweet season for us every year as we celebrate our graduating seniors and also welcome some fresh new faces to campus. It will be exciting to watch these students grow and thrive over the coming years, and before too long, we’ll be celebrating their graduations too.

As we approach Earth Day this year, let’s take a minute to reflect on some of the ways life at Kailash Home serves not only the residents of campus but also the sustainability of Mother Earth!

One of our favorite things is witnessing the beautiful, happy smiles of our children. We know that all children need support in a multitude of areas and that includes when it comes to overall health and wellness. All of our #KailashKids receive regular dental exams to ensure that they are maintaining good dental hygiene and to check for any issues.

Mangal, Kailash Class of 2018, is one of four brothers and came to Kailash at a young age. He has since gone on to pursue a university degree and has aspirations to one day complete a graduate degree as well. He has stayed connected to Kailash since graduation through the Kailash Alumni group, and in his free time he enjoys creating artwork, mobile gaming, hiking, trekking, watching movies, and playing various sports like football, basketball, running, and mountain biking.

Just like that, it’s time to celebrate and say goodbye to our Class of 2024.

There’s a good chance you are reading this message because of Micheline Kramer, our co-Founder and President. For so many of our worldwide family, Micheline was the first one to introduce us to Nepal and Kailash and the children we strive to help daily.

Family is the beating heart of Kailash Home, and the foundation that allows our children to flourish and succeed not only at every stage of their time with us, but also as they go out into their young adult lives. Seeing the intersection of these different factions of our wider Kailash family is an incredibly gratifying marker of success, and recently, we’ve been thrilled to witness a whole new era of Kailash Alumni involvement!

Our 2023 Annual Appeal is now, and we need your help! Give before November 30th and your gift will be matched dollar for dollar.

It was a busy summer, and things have been bustling for our Kailash Kids and staff in Nepal! Over recent months, we’ve seen the completion of several longtime projects on campus including new property fencing, an updated playground area, refreshed roofing on our girls dormitory building, improved drainage infrastructure, and more.

Have you ever had an experience, a moment in your life, when it seemed like the world shifted around you and suddenly your perspective was entirely changed? Moments like these are magical and happen rarely, unless that is, you happen to be the proverbial fly on the wall at Kailash Home. At Kailash, these moments happen regularly.

Through our Friends of Kailash Home program, people of all ages, but primarily university students, from around the world have the chance to stay at Kailash for up to a month. While on campus these visitors have a unique opportunity to meet and mentor our children through shared meals, tutoring, and other fun activities and outings. Rather than tell you how impactful these experiences are for both our Friends and our Kailash Kids, though, we invite you to read what a few of our most recent visitors had to say:
