The civil war in Nepal has left a generation of children homeless and orphaned. In 2005, a small group of musicians, touched by the plight of the street children of Nepal, formed the charity Music4Children.

	100% of all donated funds go directly to our beneficiaries – the charity is entirely volunteer-run with no fancy offices, overpaid directors or people with clipboards harassing you on your way to work (yes, they are paid).
	Our fundraising is extreme – we go to great heights and lengths to raise money for our cause. We hold the world records for the world’s highest gig (above Everest’s base camp) and the world’s longest gig ( 44 hours non stop).
	It’s all about the music – the charity is run by musicians and is supported by some of the UK’s top bands who regularly hold gigs to benefit the charity. Music is how we fundraise, educate and heal.
	Even our fundraising makes a difference – our free daytime and evening gigs throughout London create an atmosphere of community spirit, family and goodwill.

Music4Children has worked to raise money to buy land and build an orphanage in Dhulikhel, east of Kathmandu. The orphanage is now in the final stages of construction and situated next to a school, providing easy access to an education for the children who will call it home.

Music4Childen has joined forces with Help Nepal, www.helpnepal.net, a global Nepalese volunteer organisation with a dedicated ground team in Nepal. This association ensures all donated funds are applied directly to the project and works are completed to the highest possible standard.




Until now we have relied purely on the good-will of people who share our love for music and the desire to help those children less fortunate than our own to reach their potential.

If you would like to donate - time or money, we would love to hear from you. For more information contact:
