Ama Foundation
Mission Statement
Ama Ghar was co-founded by Shrawan Nepali, who spent part of his childhood at the Paropokar orphanage in Kathmandu. Assisted by Peace Corps volunteers, Shrawan was educated in the U.S. but he never forgot those less fortunate that he left behind in Nepal. With co-founders Ama Tika Basnet and Shekhar Silwal, he opened Ama Ghar in 2001; the first 14 children arrived at Ama Ghar during that year. Now, 12 years later, Ama Ghar has grown to a family of 50 children and 8 staff members. Four of our children have transitioned and started a new life on their own.
