About Sam's House

Mission Statement

At Sam's House, we embrace the future by providing a home, family, education, and love to abandoned and orphaned children in Nepal. We believe that love, security and education are essential rights as well as key components of any child's ability to thrive in and contribute to the world. The people of Nepal, the kindness of their culture, and their devotion to family and friends inspire our organization.  As Nepal works to overcome its present challenges, Sam's House teaches respect, friendship and love of country.

Sam’s House is named in honor of Sam Rothchild, grandfather of one of our trustees. Sam came to the United States from Europe in the 1910s and lived in several orphanages in New York City before reuniting with his family. He credited his survival and education to those special homes.
