Orphaned Children Scholarship Program

The Lions Club of Pokhara Annapurna has worked to fund individual scholarships for orphans and semi-orphans. These children have mostly been affected by Nepal’s political insurgency and/or poor family backgrounds. Some of their parents were killed during the uprising of the Maoist. Our club is currently funding the education of seventeen children, who are now studying in different schools in Pokhara Valley.
