Nyisal Hostel – Empowering Himalayan Children Through Education

Our Mission
At Nyisal Hostel, we provide children from remote Nyisal village in Upper Dolpa with a loving home, food, shelter, education, and cultural learning in Kathmandu—helping them grow in knowledge, identity, and hope.
We are also working to create a sustainable source of income through small businesses to support the hostel’s long-term future.
Why We Exist
Nyisal is a small Himalayan village in Upper Dolpa, where access to education, health care, and basic facilities is extremely limited. To break this cycle of hardship, we brought 13 children to Kathmandu - offering them opportunity without letting them lose their culture. Every child in our care carries the dreams of a forgotten valley - and we are here to guide them toward a brighter, self-reliant future.
What We Do
For each child, we ensure:
- Safe, nurturing accommodation
- Admission to Shree Janakalyan School in Kathmandu
- Daily meals, clothes, and school supplies
- Medical care and emotional support
- Tibetan language and cultural education

It takes just $1,000 a year to fully support one child. That's $85 a month - covering:
- Rent and utilities
- School fees
- Food and clothes
- Learning materials
- Cultural programs
Every rupee you give goes directly to the children. We are fully community-funded and volunteer-run.

You can help in so many ways:
- Sponsor a child
- Donate school supplies or clothes
- Volunteer your time or skills
- Share our story with others

OUR COMMITMENTS

Education
At Nyisal Hostel, we believe education is the foundation for a brighter future. Our children attend Janakalyan School in Kathmandu, where they receive quality instruction and all-round academic support. We work closely with the school to ensure each child not only thrives in the classroom but also develops discipline, curiosity, and confidence. Alongside their formal studies, we help preserve their unique cultural identity and values—empowering them to shape their own paths with pride and purpose.

Accommodation
Nyisal Hostel offers more than just a roof—it’s a second home for our students. We provide a safe, clean, and caring environment where every child feels protected, supported, and valued. With healthy meals, a structured daily routine, and a loving caretaker, we make sure our children have the stability and comfort they need to thrive—both emotionally and academically.
