This clip introduces the Mitrata-Nepal Foundation for Children, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide shelter, medical care and educational opportunities for underprivileged children in Nepal through direct donor support. Because all USA board members and staff are volunteers, the donations go directly to the support of the children, not to administrative costs.
Mitrata, which means friendship in Nepali, was born out of the deep connection between Nanda Kulu from Nepal and Dr. Christine Schutz from America, people of different cultures but with the same heart. Traveling together in the mountains outside Kathmandu, they found a homeless girl and decided to find a way to bring her into the city and care for her. With only a few hundred dollars, they opened the Mitrata children’s home in Naya Bazaar, Kathmandu, in 2000.
MacroSun International has proudly supported the Mitrata-Nepal Foundation since its inception in 2000, and is honored to present this video on their behalf.
