Friends of HCCH is a registered UK charity set up in 2010 to help
to improve the lives of young people from the Lo community originating in the Mustang area of Nepal. The children originate
from one of the poorest, most isolated areas of Nepal, itself one
of the poorest countries in the world. Although Nepali politically,
the children are Tibetan in culture.

The charity supports the work of the Himalayan Children’s Care
Home. This opened  in 2006 and is based in Pokhara, Nepal.

​

The home provides:

• Shelter, food, clothing and a stable, caring environment.
• Education in a Tibetan school where the children are taught in
  their mother tongue and English and are able to retain contact with their Tibetan culture.
• Primary health care

We believe these are basic rights which should be available to all children regardless of their background, origin or culture. The long term aim of the home—which the charity supports—is to break the
cycle of poverty into which the children have been borne.
