The Umbrella Foundation

Ten years of civil war in Nepal has displaced tens of thousands of children. With countless children orphaned and even more trafficked and/or abandoned, Umbrella Foundation was established to rescue destitute children and give them access to education and the possability of re-integration back with thier families and communities. The Umbrella Foundation provides care for more conflict-displaced and trafficked children in the Kathmandu Valley than any other INGO and actively works to re-integrate our children back with thier families in thier native communities around Nepal. know more...
