SANOUPAHAR

सानोउपहार · Small Gift. Systemic Change.

We exist to understand and address the deep-rooted challenges of poverty in Nepal — food insecurity, lack of clothing, and inadequate sanitation. We connect people who want to help with those who need it most.

The Reality in Nepal

Millions of Nepalis struggle daily for basic necessities. These are not statistics — they are lives.

🍚

Food Insecurity

Over 4 million people in Nepal face moderate to severe food insecurity. Children in remote areas often go to bed hungry.

🧣

Lack of Clothing

In winter, many families cannot afford warm clothes. Children walk to school without shoes or jackets.

🚻

Sanitation Crisis

Nearly 8 million people lack access to basic sanitation. Open defecation and unsafe water cause preventable diseases.

🏚️

Shelter & Dignity

Thousands of elderly and orphans live in shelters with minimal resources. They need more than just food — they need care.

What People Face Every Day

These are the problems we work to solve — not through charity, but through connection and action.

Hunger & Nutrition

42% of children under 5 are stunted

Chronic malnutrition affects physical and cognitive development. Many families survive on one meal a day.

Clothing & Warmth

60% of rural households lack winter clothing

In high-altitude regions, children and elders suffer from cold-related illnesses because they cannot afford warm layers.

Sanitation & Hygiene

30% of schools lack proper toilets

Girls often drop out when they reach puberty due to lack of safe, private sanitation facilities.

Isolation of Elderly & Orphans

Over 100,000 children live in orphanages

Many of these children have living parents but are placed in institutions due to poverty. Old-age homes are underfunded.

📌 We do not ask for donations here. We believe in connecting people directly. If you want to help, contact us — we will coordinate with verified shelters and families.

Stories from the Ground

Real voices from Nepal's villages and cities.

🍲 "We have rice, but no vegetables."

— A mother in Jumla

Her family grows enough rice for three months, but for the rest of the year they rely on wild greens and whatever they can forage. Their children often go to school without lunch.

"If someone could send just a little oil and lentils, it would make such a difference."

🧣 "We wear the same sweater all winter."

— A grandfather in Dolpa

He and his grandson share one thin blanket during the harsh Himalayan winter. Many families in his village have no warm clothes for their children.

"All we need is something to keep the cold away."

Our Approach

We don't collect money. We connect people, resources, and communities.

1

Listen & Learn

We visit communities, talk to families, and understand their specific needs — food, clothes, sanitation, or care.

2

Connect & Coordinate

If you want to help, we put you in touch with verified shelters, schools, or families. We facilitate, not intermediate.

3

Support & Follow-up

We ensure that help reaches the right people. We share updates so you know your support made a difference.
