Our goal

To support and enhance the lives of Nepalese children who do not have family to cater for their basic needs.

It began with Albury local Trish Ryan undertaking a volunteer program at an existing orphanage in Nepal that had a corrupt administration, poor facilities, lack of food, and persistent health problems.

Meg’s Children Nepal was then established in 2005, an Australian not for profit charitable trust, run by volunteers in Albury NSW.

We are currently supporting 22 kids to attend school – 20 children attend the local Global Life School in Bhaktapur, and 11 children attend schools via our Community Outreach Program.

Our Outreach Program supports families by looking after children in their own homes, reuniting family members and forming new connections in the local community.

We’re also supporting our older children to undertake tertiary studies, so they can pursue a profession or trade, setting them on a path to independence.

Tertiary studies are funded through a repayable scholarship program, which aims to provide an ongoing fund to ensure our younger children have access to the same educational opportunities.

Thank you to our generous supporters
