Review for Chhahari Inc, Laguna Beach, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

This organization is the real deal. Founder Chris Casey trekked Nepal in 2004, came back to the U.S. determined to help the lice-ridden, malnourished kids without parents to protect them who were begging in the streets, and within 3 years had founded this home for 22 or so children. They get nourishing food, clothing, medical care, and schooling 6 days a week in a family-like atmosphere. Everyone pitches in to keep the home clean and running well. It is very basic but what a difference for children who would otherwise be poverty-stricken, in poor health, and possibly sold into slavery or killed for their organs. It is a miracle for these children, who will be encouraged to learn a trade or go to college when the time comes. They do so much with very little - their annual budget is amazingly modest. Good to know too is that the organization's accounting and record keeping are above reproach.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

reading regular reports of how healthy the children at the home, and how happy and smart.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

get them a building of their own. Working on it.
