To better the lives of Nepalese orphans.

We are a Netherlands based NGO active since 1999 for the betterment of Nepalese orphans. Many of our projects originate in Bal Mandir – Kathmandu, which is the largest orphanage in Nepal run by NCO (Nepal Childrens Organisation). VONK started as a social organization of parents who have adopted a child (or children) from Nepal. All these children come from Bal Mandir. Children, mostly girls, who are not adopted can stay in the orphanage till they are 16 years of age. After reaching 16 years they have to leave the orphanage. Since they have little professional training and/or education, it is extremely difficult for them to survive in the Nepalese society. These orphans are an easy prey for girl traffickers. If nothing is done to prevent this, these girls end in prostitution in India. Their chances of contracting HIV/AIDS is nothing less then 100%.
