In a short period of time Umbrella has grown into one of Nepal’s largest children’s homes.

Everything that Umbrella has achieved to date has been thanks to the dedication, generosity and vision of individuals around the world. The Umbrella Foundation has relied on individual sponsors, donors and volunteers to fund all of our projects to date.

Up to this date, Umbrella has not received any corporate sponsorship or government support. Umbrella work tirelessly to make sure every cent donated goes to the meeting the needs of the children.

The Umbrella Foundation has not only grown in Nepal but around the world. We are now a registered charity in five countries, with hopefully more to follow.

This growth in support has been largely thanks to past volunteers, who have experienced Umbrella’s work first hand, returning home and continuing to help Umbrella through child sponsorship, hosting fund raisers and spreading the word of Umbrella.

We would like to thank all our child sponsors, donors and volunteers, as well as our international supporters:

The Umbrella Foundation, Ireland; Friends of Umbrella, UK; Wings of the World, US;

Stichting Paraplu Nepal, Holland; Associació Calidoscopi, Spain; SolHimal, France;

Hong Kong Football Club;  and of course none of this would have been possible without

Viva Bell, Dave Cutler, Jacky Buk and Harry Coogan.
