In these quotes from the film “The Children of Ama Ghar,” the featured children share a profound sense of home and family experienced at Ama Ghar. Amazingly, Ama Foundation’s mission is to provide just that.

Currently, our primary program is Ama Ghar Children’s Home, just 18 kilometers south of Kathmandu. There we provide a home and family to 38 orphaned and disadvantaged children ages 6 to 17.

We are fortunate to be able to provide the children with the best education possible, and recently 24 have received scholarships to attend a local Montessori school.

While vitally important, we believe that education is not the only factor contributing to a child’s success. A stable home and genuine love are essential. At Ama Ghar, the housemothers and fathers care for the children as if they were their own. They also uphold a routine that encourages individuality as well as a sense of community.

The children themselves are shining examples of success. Click here to meet them.

Ama Ghar is growing! As the children get taller, smarter, and stronger, they are outgrowing the current rented building. Luckily, a new Ama Ghar is currently being built and is set to open in September 2010. To learn about the construction process, our plans for going green, and future goals click here.
