Welcome to SACHHAM
NEPAL
SACHHAM - A BRIDGE TO ADULTE LIFE
The Sachham project enables young people without family and / or financial support to complete school and vocational training, which, depending on their talents will help them secure their own existence in the future.
A third of the population is under 14 years old. The great poverty in rural areas means that more and more children are growing up without fathers, who have to emigrate to ensure the livelihood of their families. In addition, many parents see themselves compelled in the situation of having to send their children to the city to find work. From the age of 5 the children have to work in the carpet industry, in brick factories, quarries, on construction sites, in agriculture, in households or hotels.
Forced labour, prostitution and child trafficking are on the agenda - a bitter reality that got worse after the devastating earthquake and the Covid 19 pandemic.
To alleviate this misery and to give a young, ambitious generation a perspective after school, we founded Sachham Nepal.
100% of your donations will benefit the work in Nepal.

Travel report autumn 2025
Dear friends of Sachham Nepal
I had actually already written my introduction and first impressions of this year's Nepal trip in the fall when news of the unrest on September 8th and 9th in Kathmandu and large parts of Nepal reached us in Dho Tarap, far away in Dolpo. It was shocking and tragic to learn that 72 mostly young people were killed and over 2,000 injured while we were traveling in the magnificent mountains of Dolpo.
We were able to contact Krishna and learned that both the Sachham staff and all participants are safe and well, and none of our projects are affected.
Life returned to normal after just a few days. Following the government's resignation and the appointment of a new prime minister, the population is hopeful for positive change. However, it will take considerable time and money to repair the, in some cases, immense damage to public buildings (in Nepal, all important documents were stored in paper form, many of which were lost in the flames).
