Discover Rising Lotus

We are a non-profit children’s foundation committed to providing underprivileged Nepali girls with education and a nurturing home.

Learn about the work we do in our featured films and discover the impact your donations make by sponsoring an RLCV girl.

Our Work

We provide a home for girls from the most extreme levels of poverty. We ensure the girls receive a formal education, proper nutrition & hygiene, and the care that is essential for their physical, social, and emotional wellbeing.

Our 24/7 live-on-site staff ensures the girls are always provided for, cooking three meals per day and adhering to their health and hygiene needs. We pay for our girls to receive an English medium education at reputabe local schools in addition to private tutoring.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower disadvantaged girls to become well-educated, self-sufficient members of Nepali society, thus breaking generations long cycles of poverty and gender-inequality.

Our vision is to see our graduates contribute to a better Nepal, working to improve the lives of those in their home communities and across Nepal.

Our Impact

We currently care for 28 girls year round. Since our founding in 2006, we have raised over 40 children from early childhood, seeing over 10 children graduate from class 10 with top SEE marks (the SEE is the Nepali national board exam required for higher education).

Our work is only possible through the sustained financial support of international donors. 100% of your donations go towards providing the day-in, day-out necessities — rent, clothing, fresh fruits, grains and vergetables, school fees and supplies, transportation, healthcare, and staff salaries — essential for their development.
