Programs
Shenpen focuses on helping the poor and disadvantaged gain access to healthcare facilities, education, shelter, and employment opportunities and to improve the care and treatment of animals. Click on a section heading below for more information.
Health
With the support of CHANCE for Nepal (UK) and Tashi Delek, Germany, as well as from many private, individual donations, Shenpen Health has been working with a local organization that offers medical treatment to the poor and needy in the village setting, and to burn victims, who mostly live at the poverty level. |
Education
Shenpen Education has attempted to alleviate some of the inability for parents to send their children to school by sponsoring children’s education. The more children we can help get a good and valuable education the brighter the future, not only for them, but for Nepal as a whole. |
Street Children

Elderly
With the increasing poverty and lack of viable employment for the young, more and more elderly are put out on the streets or asked to find ways to care for themselves. There are no pensions in Nepal for the elderly that offer them enough to care for themselves. There are no ‘Homes for the Elderly’ that offer affordable care. Shenpen Elderly would like to alleviate some of the burden these elderly experience. |
Skills Training
Financial difficulties faced by women tend to impact most heavily on families with the welfare, health and education of children being particularly affected. In order to start addressing this problem, the Women’s Cooperative Society (WCS) was established in 1995 to help poor women form community based savings and loans groups. |
Animals
Understandably, there are increasingly more and more stray dogs and cats in Kathmandu valley. They are either abandoned by families who cannot give proper care to the babies born to their pets, or were offspring to already existing street dogs and cats. Shenpen Animals believes that when we give proper medical care to animals we are modeling proper approaches to caring for this large segment of society. |
