Organization Profile
We are a Non-Profit Organization aiming to build as many schools as possible in Nepal. Nepal has more than 50 thousand street children who survive on the street by eating trash. Many of these children are sold into slavery or prostitution and many die every day from simple diseases. To survive most take jobs at 5 years old, and become injured as a result. At Developing Hands, we are committed to providing not only a school for these children, but also a home where they can feel safe…and be kids again.
We are an official Non-Profit Organization recognized by Secretary Of State Of Colorado.
We have received our Tax Exemption Letter from the IRS & it has been effective since March 17, 2005.
Our Tax ID: 20-3022792
Public Charity Status: 501(c)(3)
Contribution Deductible: Yes
The people of Boulder, Colorado have supported us beyond any of our expectations. We also have supporters around the world who we would like to thank for their continued support of our efforts.It will not be possible to build the school without your support. Please do not think you cannot do anything by yourself. Even one dollar helps us build this school for orphans and street children in Nepal.
