House with a Heart

Don’t miss this video of the GSM children singing the new Nepali national anthem.

Also check out this video of the GSM children. Thanks to volunteer Mike Ogletree who produced both of these videos.

GSM has only four hours of electricity per day – usually in the middle of the night. Watch this video to see how the children manage to wash dishes in the dark!

Ghar Sita Mutu is a charity that provides a home for abandoned children, a training center for destitute women, and an outreach program for needy families in Kathmandu, Nepal. This non-profit, NGO (Non-Govern-mental Organization) was founded by Beverly Bronson in 2001, when she found two children, Krishna and Babu aged five and two, huddled in front of a tin hut after being abandoned by their mother. Since that time, Ghar Sita Mutu has built a facility that houses the children’s home and training center, and continues to expand its outreach every year under the leadership of Beverly who serves as director of the organization.

As one of the most impoverished countries in the world, Nepal has no government social safety net for its people, and a limited number of charities and non-profits are operating. With the help of our generous donors, we provide hope for a better future and the chance to live with dignity.

Our Annual Anniversary Party on December 7th at Theatre for the New City was a big success. Thanks to those who donated funds and to those who donated food and silent auctions items. Many thanks also to the talented performers. Click here to see photos.
