In 2020, we were able to donate CHF 56,000 to the Sagarmatha center and a little more than CHF 63,000 to the Punarbal center, including amounts donated in advance for the year 2021.

These funds were the result of collections, donations from individuals and sponsors.

To find out more about the way the funds we receive are put to use, you may view our annual reports.

In-kind donations such as books, games, from Switzerland and France are gifts that are very appreciated by the children and teenagers of both centers.

A big thank you to all those that participate, through your contributions, whether small or large, to the existence of this home in Kathmandu.
