On August 26th, an unbelievable flooding event tore through Nepal's Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading districts. Entire villages were leveled and buried in mud in the matter of minutes. The number of dead and missing continues to climb and UNICEF estimates at least 17,000 children affected, with hundreds separated from parents that may or may not be alive.
Nepal associates and myself have traveled many roads and paths here. We've sat with children in tin roofed shacks, tents and relief centers, and held their hands at clinics. Now, according to Red Cross and Save the Children, too many of them are being exposed to dirty water and frequent meals of instant noodles.
We continue to provide needed items and nutrition to as many children as possible. We are particularly focused on verified orphans needs and ask that you help with a recurring monthly donation to help these children in particular. Please consider doing so with a $6, $12, $25 monthly donation, or whatever you are comfortable with. You will receive monthly updates on the impact made with your generosity!
Blessings on you, and Namaste!

Our team of volunteers, here and abroad, are committed to helping others. Our primary focus is children, the future of our planet. All members of our organization are volunteers. Do you have time to donate? Think you would be a good fit? Let's talk!
The Planet of Kids Foundation, Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) Nonprofit Public Charity that was founded in August of 2018. In a matter of months, we have raised tens of thousands of dollars in cash and materials, and have formed alliances, and or given financial support to organizations such as ;
The areas we serve are populated primarily by Hindus, Buddhists and Christians. However, the contributions are made, and missions are conducted, strictly in secular fashion and solely in the name of humanity.
Our mission is to provide health, education, hope and smiles to some of the most underprivileged human beings on the planet, the children of Nepal. We strive to provide through volunteers, donated funds, needed items, nourishment, medical & shelter assistance, school supplies and tuitions. All intended to help open doors to improved health, education, welfare, social well being and self reliance.
We operate totally through volunteers only, both in America and Nepal, and are totally funded by tax deductible (in the U.S.) donations only. Please consider a small monthly recurring donation to help change the lives of these children and families currently in need. Namaste!
