Padma selects, oversees, and completes humanitarian, environmental& education projects around the world. Each project begins in consultation with local partners to ensure our work is of vital, and immediate need to the communities served. As volunteers are vital to much of what we do, Padma also leads service trips to allow others to take part in our work and explore the world.
Our work began in Nepal in the early 2000’s and focused on securing safe housing, rehabilitation resources, and providing high-quality education to disenfranchised and displaced children.
Today, we work in a number of countries with a focus on providing cutting edge, research-driven solutions that serve under-represented rural communities, and degraded and at risk environments both on land and in our oceans.

"When I look back at MY STAY AT THE Padma CHILDREN'S house what I really remember is the sense of family and caring. That kind of compassion is something that I had not seen before. It is good to know kids like that will be the future of their country and our world. Padma is helping to guarantee that."
-Will Skyrud-
Graduate Student, University of California Berkeley
"A few years ago I travelled to Kathmandu to meet the Padma children and I was so impressed with the way the funds were put to use. The children are wonderful and so eager to learn and succeed. I love this organization and am proud to play a small part."

PADMA International SERVICE Trips
In the summer months, we host trips for high school students to experience new cultures and continents while working on highly needed humanitarian and environmental projects. In addition to working alongside trained professionals, these trips include cultural site visits, lectures by local or international professors, researchers, and scientists, interaction with local communities and often homestay opportunities.

PADMA Nepal EDUCATION PROGRAM
Our initial project was the creation of a children’s home on the outskirts of the Kathmandu Valley that housed, cared for, and provided high quality education for children from situations of abject poverty. Most of these children came from families that were displaced during the Nepal civil war of the early 2000’s. With the major conflicts now over these children’s families have moved back to their ancestral villages to rebuild their lives. A number of these children began with Padma while in pre-school and are now studying in college.
Padma continues to sponsor school fees, a portion of food costs, and mentoring services tot he original "Padma Kids" and many more who have become a part of the Padma family over the years.
All donations to our Nepal Children's Support Program go entirely to help these children with all administration and oversight activities volunteered by long time Padma staff. If you have any questions, would like to sponsor a child in Nepal, or would like to travel to Nepal to meet some of the children or participate in a Padma service project contact us anytime.
