Ama Dablam has successfully purchased land and built a Protection and Rehabilitation Centre in Pokhara, which provides accommodation, education, healthcare, and a stable home environment for children who previously lived on the streets. The charity works to help children develop into independent adults by coordinating essential services such as clothing, food, finance, and access to education and medical care. Guided by the belief that every child should be able to realize their potential, Ama Dablam continues to expand its impact through fundraising and collaborative projects.
