Support
SEOD Home
OUR SEOD HOME is family for 14 wonderful children most of whom were either orphaned, abandoned or rescued from abusive family members or extreme poverty. Our aim is to not only provide these children with a place to grow up, but to create a real home which gives them the safety, warmth and love of a family and helps them recover from neglect, rejection and traumatic experiences. With the help of our dedicated team and house mother, Uma, we take care of each child’s individual needs and interests. We provide a strong platform so our kids can safely and happily reintegrate with society and prosper in life. All the children are successful at school with several achieving GPA of 90 to 100%, They enjoy Nepalese culture and love to make music, sing and dance. The children help grow our organic food, cook and practice maintenance skills. See the Gallery (Home Page) for more pictures and details.
Brave and Beautiful Kripa and Ritu
Prakash
Prakash joined our family aged 10. His father worked in India where he was diagnosed with AIDS and passed away shortly after. His uncle seized all the family property leaving Prakash and his mother on the streets. His mother also passed away rapidly.
Prakash is now 18, has excellent spoken English, and is showing a big interest in gardening and singing. He wanted to become Farmers in future.
SCHLORSHIP
We believe in the ability of education to transform the face of a society. With the help of our generous supporters, SEOD Nepal is involved in scholarship schemes for families who cannot afford to educate their children. We become a ray of hope for them. We have so far been able to assist 20 students with their academics.
These programs are now being implemented among pupils in the Kaski district’s Macchapuchre village development committee. All of the students receiving scholarships come from low-income families who struggle to provide them with an education. They now have access to education , and they desire to become the person they want to be, bringing them one step closer to their dreams.
And we intend to provide more assistance as we receive more generous donors willing to invest in the lives of these innocent children.

ANIMAL HUSBANDARY
Men are typically the breadwinners in patriarchal societies. In the absence of any men, it becomes difficult for women, who are more likely to become the breadwinner, despite societal taboos.In such circumstances, we’ve started a project to assist people in managing their lives through animal husbandry programs.We are committed to raising and strengthening single women who are unable to sustain themselves. We supply animals like goats and hens to help them make a living. Women we support are brave women who have chosen to support their families.This endeavor has aided and changed the lives of many women in society.
Through our animal husbandry programs, we assist these women get back on their feet and live a better life. Many of the ladies we’ve helped have been able to keep their lives going . We’re honored to work alongside them and assist them in their progress.
Sukmaya BK and her Story
During our village field trips, we were drawn to Sukmaya bk, a young woman who married at the age of 16. Her husband was imprisoned in a jail because of some illegal affiliation. Following his incarceration, her husband’s family abandoned her by kicking her out of the house. The husband’s family said nothing about the their two children. Sukmaya was on her own, looking for help. She couldn’t even provide for her children. Seod’s family was compassionate to her circumstances. So we decided to give her some goats through our animal husbandry programs. Instead of just giving her money, we wanted her to be empowered and able to stand on her own. We also assisted her in constructing a goat shelter.
BK Brothers
Eight years ago, during a stop on the way to Kathmandu, we met six malnourished brothers asking for food. Three of them were unable even to walk. We found out that their family exists in extreme poverty with both parents battling alcohol addiction. A month later we took the boys for a medical check-up, discovering that on top of their malnourishment, five of them are suffering from muscular dystrophy.
Our Childrens’ Home is not suitable for wheelchairs, however, with the help of our sponsor Peter (from UK), we have managed to accommodate the three brothers still able to walk. They are now an integrated part of our family in Pokhara.
After their mother passed away our amazing housemaid Rupa and her husband Hem volunteered to become foster parents for the three wheelchair-bound brothers who remained in village. We rented a suitable ground floor apartment next to our SEOD Childrens’ Home to provide them with everything to improve their quality of life. We are glad that with good nutrition, medical supervision and therapy, their abilities have improved and the passive and depressed boys have become jolly, active and happy. The older wheelchair-bound boys are learning musical instruments with great enthusiasm, playing board games and performing tasks in the household. The younger three are going to school, making new friends, joining field trips and picnics. With the help of our friends and supporters we even managed to take all the brothers on little hikes, boating or cinema visits, trying to provide them with as much normality as possible.
We are especially grateful for the support of the organization “Work the World”, arranging weekly visits by their medical students to check on the brothers as well as providing play therapy and training for them.
