Wind of Change International is a not-for-profit organisation with the vision of providing opportunities for disadvantaged individuals and groups to enhance their quality of life and build a better future for themselves and their communities.
We believe that every child has the right to a decent childhood — to be healthy, live in a safe home, and enjoy quality education. Through personal involvement and a focus on smaller projects, we make a substantial difference to the people we work with and for their community.
Our Work in Nepal
For nearly two decades, Wind of Change has been delivering meaningful, sustained support to disadvantaged children and communities in Nepal.
Maya Scholarship Program

The Nepal Hearing Project provided hearing care and devices for thousands of patients across Nepal. Since 2015 the clinic continues under an international ENT hospital in Pokhara.
Learn moreNearly Two Decades of Impact
Wind of Change International was founded in 2008 when Tuuli and Carl opened Onni Children's House in Pokhara, Nepal — a safe home for 16 orphaned, abandoned and at-risk children.
In October 2022, after 14 years of operations, Onni Children's House officially closed — with all 16 young people now building independent lives, studying at university, working in trades, or pursuing careers in Nepal and abroad. We continue to support them emotionally and financially.
Alongside Onni, our Maya Scholarship Program has provided education to children from disadvantaged families, and the Nepal Hearing Project delivered free hearing assessments and aids to thousands of patients across Nepal.
