Hotel-social enterprise

In a historic house in the center of Patan, already restored in 2006 with funds from UNESCO for its special historical-architectural value, Kam For Sud runs a hotel-social enterprise. Some of the children who grew up in the NGO’s facilities (children home, day care centre, scholarships) can learn a profession by working at the Newa Chen hotel and contribute, by their work, to support the Tathali children home, to which all earnings are allocated.

Shanti, one of the first girls to be supported by a scholarship, has since obtained a Master’s degree in Business Administration and has become the first hotel manager. Other young people who grew up at the Rodec day care centre or at the Tathali children home work at the reception or in he kitchen.

The hotel offers fourteen rooms: eight in the historic building and six in a new wing, restored by a young Newar architect with the aim of ensuring its integration into the historic complex.
