why we're doing this
Most of you saw the heartbreaking news of the catastrophic flooding in Nepal. Homes were destroyed, families were torn apart, and children lost everything they once knew. Some lost one or both parents. Others lost their homes, their schools, their belongings, and the security of everyday life.
For these children, the devastation didn't end when the floodwaters receded.
At Maitri Gives, we knew we wanted to do something more than provide immediate disaster relief. We wanted to make a lasting commitment.
We are proud to announce Project HOPE (Holistic Outreach for Protection and Education), a 12-month sponsorship initiative in partnership with Lotus Life, a Nepal-based organization working with vulnerable children in the flood-affected communities of Uttargaya and Kalika in Rasuwa District.
Together, we are committing to sponsor 40 children for an entire year, helping restore some semblance of normalcy to lives that have been turned upside down.
WHAT DOES $90 A MONTH PROVIDE?
For just $90 per child per month, our sponsorship program will help provide:
This is not about social media exposure. It is not about photographing vulnerable children for publicity or exploiting their unimaginable loss. It's about giving children who have lost SO MUCH a chance to feel safe again. To go back to school. To have a warm meal. To sleep somewhere secure. To laugh with friends. To simply be children again.
THE COMMITMENT: $43,200
WHERE DOES YOUR DONATION GO?
We believe our donors deserve complete transparency.
100% of the funds raised will support Project HOPE and the care and services provided through this children's sponsorship initiative.
ACCOUNTABILITY & TRANSPARENCY MATTER.
Through our partnership with Lotus Life, children will be identified and verified in coordination with local schools and Nepal government representatives. The program follows Nepal's government framework for social-program funding and accountability.
Maitri Gives will also provide quarterly updates on our website and LinkedIn, including financial reporting, program progress, and measurable outcomes, while protecting the privacy and dignity of every child.
We want every donor to understand where their money is going and the difference it is making.
AND WE DON'T WANT TO STOP AT 40 CHILDREN.
More than 120 vulnerable children have been identified as needing support.
Our initial commitment is 40 children, but every additional $1,080 raised beyond our $43,200 goal allows us to sponsor one more child for an entire year.
Imagine what we could accomplish together.
