Mission
The mission of Quilts for Kids is to provide jobs for economically-challenged women and to sponsor education of at-risk girls, who live in a community of about 500 marginalized people who have survived primarily by begging in the streets of Kathmandu, Nepal.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
In 2024 Quilts for Kids provided funds for 54 children to attend Lords Light Academy(lower school)and Arunima School(middle school)in Kathmandu, Nepal. In addition, Quilts for Kids provided funds for 13 to attend 11th & 12th grades, and for 8 to attend nursing or trade schools. It also sponsors the full tuition and expenses for one young woman to attend college at University of Massachusetts in the USA. Each of these children, whose families live in a camp of immigrants, would otherwise be begging on the streets of Kathmandu. About $500 per child was paid for school supplies, books, backpack, exams, 2 school uniforms, and 2 pairs of shoes. In addition, the organization provided nutritional, dental, medical, and educational support to families in the beggars' camp.
