Our Buy a Brick project aims to provide a sustainable future to some of Nepal's most disadvantaged and vulnerable children.
We have bought land and built a home adapted for disabled children in Kathmandu, Nepal. We rent a small house in Kalimpong, a hill town in the border region of India, Bhutan and Nepal. This area is politically unstable and has a history of internal strife and conflict. It is a poor area sheltering many refugee Nepali children. In our rented home 10 orphaned children are cared for by Betty and Arjun Thapa, the house parents. Most of these children have suffered immense emotional and physical trauma in their early lives and, after nearly 3 years in our home, they are now feeling secure and settled. The children all go to school nearby.
Our long term aim is to help secure a permanent stable future for these children until they reach maturity.
