Arhaus Children's Home Grows into the Arhaus Community School

Thanks to the generosity and long-term commitment of Arhaus and our supporters, what began as the Arhaus Children's Home has grown into something even more impactful for the entire community.

Originally established to provide education and care for a limited number of vulnerable children, the program has now expanded into the Arhaus Community School, opening its doors to children from surrounding villages and making quality education accessible to many more families.

Today, the school provides free, quality education to more than 150 children, regardless of their background or financial situation. This expansion means that Arhaus's support is no longer benefiting only the children living in our care—it is now creating opportunities for local families by ensuring their children have access to quality education close to home.

The Arhaus Community School has become a place where children can learn, grow, and dream of a brighter future in a safe and nurturing environment. By reducing the financial burden on families and improving access to education in this remote Himalayan region, the project is helping strengthen the entire community.

While we are proud of how far we have come, our work is not yet complete. Construction of the new school building is still underway, and we continue to need support to complete the remaining work. Once the project is fully finished, the Arhaus Community School will have the capacity to provide free quality education to more than 300 children every year, creating an even greater impact across the region.

We warmly invite you to continue this journey with us. Your generous donation will help us:

Sponsor children's education.
Provide a safe and caring place to live for vulnerable children.
Train and support our teachers to deliver quality education.
Furnish classrooms with desks, learning materials, and essential equipment.
Complete the remaining construction of the Arhaus Community School.

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to completing this vision. None of this would be possible without your kindness, compassion, and continued partnership.

On behalf of all the children, families, teachers, and our community, thank you for believing in their potential. Together, we are not only building classrooms—we are building opportunities, hope, and brighter futures for generations to come.

Hope Begins at Arhaus Children's Home in the Nepal

By Karma Sherpa | Executive Director & Co-Founder

Dear Friends and Supporters, Namaste !

High in the Solukhumbu district of Nepal, in the shadows of Everest, there is a place where light shines in the lives of children who once knew only darkness — Arhaus Children’s Home, run by The Small World.

Today, over 100 children who had lost everything are now safe, loved, and learning — building futures full of hope.

Why Your Support Matters Now More Than Ever

Due to recent political unrest and the suspension of USAID and other foreign aid, many organizations in Nepal have been forced to halt essential programs. Vulnerable children are now even more at risk — without education, safety, or basic nutrition.

As these supports disappear, the work of Arhaus Children’s Home is becoming more critical than ever.

With your help, we are continuing to offer shelter, education, love, and protection — especially to children from marginalized, lower-caste, or orphaned backgrounds.

Stories of Hope and Transformation Minish, Age 7 – A New Beginning Against All Odds

Minish lost both of her parents at a young age. Coming from a lower-caste background, she had no access to education or a safe place to grow up.

Today, Minish is thriving at Arhaus Children’s Home. She is healthy, smiling, and in school every day. She’s not just surviving — she’s discovering joy, peace, and the promise of a better future.

Sujata, Age 9 – Rescued from a Life of Despair

Sujata’s father passed away working as a porter on an Everest trek. Her mother died during the COVID-19 pandemic. Orphaned and vulnerable, Sujata’s future was uncertain. Her older sisters, just teenagers, were already married due to poverty and lack of protection.

But Sujata’s story is different now.
At Arhaus Children’s Home, she has found a new family, new hope, peace, and the gift of education. For the first time, she’s dreaming of becoming a teacher.
She’s not just breaking the cycle — she’s building a new one.

You Can Be the Difference

Your generosity creates miracles every day. With every dollar you give, you're giving a child a safe home, a nutritious meal, and the chance to go to school — maybe for the first time.

You Can Be the Difference

Your generosity brings safety, nourishment, and opportunity to the most vulnerable children in Nepal. Here’s what your gift can do:

$25 – Supports one child’s education and meals for a full month
$100 – Provides food, housing, and school supplies for 4 children
$250 – Helps cover caregivers’ salaries and essential services
$500 – Covers nutritious meals for a child for an entire year
$1,000 – Sponsors one child fully: housing, education, meals, and care
$5,000 – Funds the full operation of Arhaus Children’s Home for one month, benefiting nearly 100 children

Thank you so much for your generous support and continued belief in our mission.
Your compassion is more than a donation — it’s an investment in the safety, education, and well-being of children like Sujata and Minish. Because of you, they are not only safe — they are dreaming, learning, and building brighter futures.

Together, we are creating real, lasting change — one child at a time.

With deepest gratitude,
