THE CHILDHOOD THAT EVERY KID DESERVES

Dear BlinkNow global family,

As one of the Children’s Home Coordinators (along with my wife Aakriti), I have seen many children grow and transform over the years. These children have had very different childhoods than my own. You see, I grew up in Kathmandu with two loving parents who gave me everything I needed. I had a quality education and every opportunity at my fingertips. Back then, I did not realize my privilege.

When I moved to Surkhet more than seven years ago to work at Kopila Valley, my life changed forever. Many of the children did not have the family love and stable childhood that I once took for granted. The stories I heard broke my heart. The suffering that many of our kids had faced was unimaginable—no child should have to experience these things. Yet, at Kopila Valley, there is love everywhere you look.

Our Children’s Home is a secure place for children without other family support or alternative care options. Currently, 40 children live here, with 14 of them under 7 years old. Amidst play, dance, kite flying, and bedtime stories, we are able to offer them a childhood as safe as my own—a privilege every child should have but many lack. Additionally, 33 young adults have transitioned to independent living, yet this remains a sanctuary they return to during vacations and holidays. It’s a forever home—a source of comfort, support, and unwavering refuge.

All these years later, I am still overwhelmed by the stories of hardship we hear about children who need help. The lack of access to food, clean water, healthcare, safety, shelter, and basic education are still prevalent in this part of Nepal. We have so much more work to do.

Today is Giving Tuesday, one of the biggest days of generosity for our human family. Will you donate today to provide a safe, loving home and a top-notch education to more vulnerable children in Nepal? We’re looking for 700 people to donate today. You can be one of these! Plus, a generous donor will match your gift (and every gift!) today, up to $125,000.

Together, we can create a future where every child has the same safety, education, and love that I had. Your gift today will help more children grow into their full potential and know they are loved.

With gratitude,

Sachyam
