Our goal

To support the upbringing of vulnerable and at-risk children in Nepal, by providing for their daily living needs and meeting their right to education.

Megs Children Nepal - Albury Charity

Our charity was established in 2005 by Albury local Trish Ryan, in memory of her daughter Meg.

Trish had volunteered in an existing orphanage in Nepal and discovered its corrupt administration, poor facilities and persistent health problems.

Upon returning home Trish focused her efforts on rescuing the children from the exploitation and deprivation that they were facing. This then led to the creation of Meg’s Children Nepal.

Since then, Meg’s Children has grown and progressed to provide care and support to Nepalese children to help them grow, learn and achieve their ambitions.

We have three programs that support the children in our care: accommodation in Noble House; support through the Outreach Program; and Tertiary Education loans.

Megs Children Nepal - Albury Charity

All the children who live in Noble House attend the local Global Life School, which ensures that they receive quality primary and secondary education.

Megs Children Nepal - Albury Wodonga Childrens Charity

The Outreach Program provides financial support to disadvantaged children living with their families to help cover education costs.

Financial loans towards Tertiary Education help our older children to develop their careers through university or post-school studies.

Mike’s at it again!

You may recall back in 2017 Mike Coen walked 900km across Spain to raise funds for Meg’s Children.

He realises that our Albury-Wodonga based charity is finding it tough to raise the necessary funds to sustain our work, with the current COVID-19 restrictions and border closures.

So on Fathers Day, this Sunday 6th September, Mike and Suzie will be walking the length of the Gold Coast to assist Meg’s! They have set a goal of raising $5000 for their 42km marathon walk – and we need you to help them reach that target.

Mike says: “Think about it. If everyone gave up the cost of 2 coffees and donated just $10 to Meg’s, that will feed a child for a week in Nepal. We’ve kicked it off with a $100 donation, so please help us make a difference with your donation.”
