Over the past year, Umbrella has initiated a number of ambitious projects and taken on board some very qualified and motivated Nepali staff to help give more support to our children. These aspects contributed to making it a year of change for Umbrella.

In 2012 Umbrella will continue its key activities in the fields of Child Protection, Education and Re-integration for all our children and youths. Depending on each child’s circumstances, we shall try to re-integrate as many of our children back to their families and giving our youths the capabilities necessary to make a life for themselves as they grow up. The ideal is for our children to return to their communities and grow up within their own families while receiving support from Umbrella, who will monitor their progress and help in times of need. We require the help of all of our supporters around the world who make our work possible, so Thank You and here’s to 2012 together..!

We will continue to provide full time care and education for the children in our homes in Kathmandu

2. Re-integration

3. Next Steps Youth & Education Programme
