About Indreni

Indreni was born out of the vision of its founders who have grown up and lived through childhood poverty and without family support directly in Nepal.

Indreni is the Nepalese word for rainbow, reflected in our logo and representative of the inclusive nature of the organization, helping children irrespective of their beliefs, culture, or country.

“Each colour has its own value and identification and when combined has a separate meaning with and a destination. Thus we consider each child as Indreni because they stay under the same roof and have their own values and destiny similar to that of a rainbow. Our home is a replication of a blissful rainbow.” Ram Hari Khadka, President of Indreni Children’s Home

By providing funding for teachers' salaries, we allow local children to get access to education closer to home, and remove the necessity for them to leave their families to get access to education in Kathmandu city.

Building Shwetbarahi School

We're currently building a new school to educate more children from the surrounding area, near Sundarijal, Kathmandu. We aim to educate over 500 children at any one time from this school from the local vicinity. Funds paid by local families to send their children here, will provide revenue to run our children homes and lead to a more sustainable future for Indreni as a whole.

Arunodaya School

Indreni started sponsoring the middle school and high school education programme in Arunodaya school for the children of the surrounding village. These children would usually have to walk for 1 hour to get to the nearest high school every day. This benefits the children of the community greatly. Before this, they would have had to either move to the city for education or walk 3-4 hours to the nearest +2 school for higher study.

This will provide them with a better future and will help them to protect their surrounding environment. We brought running water to the village, and we planted 30,000 fruit trees. We have rebuilt a volunteer home which allows members of Indreni to work in the community. We are employing local farmers to plant and care for the plantation, giving vital assistance to the local economy.
