Our Mission
At Life's Handy Work it is our mission to provide the children from Nepal Orphans Home (NOH) with the opportunities to seek higher level training and schooling, housing, and small business grants as they grow into adulthood. We believe that providing NOH's children with financial support to achieve their goals will empower them to give back to their local and global communities.

To learn more about Life’s Handy Work please read the following story about how this organization came together and what a difference they are making for the children of Nepal.
From the Beginning
During the summer of 2009 Laura Handy-Nimick traveled to Nepal to volunteer at Nepal Orphans Home (NOH). Laura spent most of her time living and working with ex-Kamlaris, girls who were rescued from indentured servitude. NOH provides these girls with a loving home, a good education and the support they need to realize their dreams. While Laura was there she fell in love with the children and people of NOH leaving her with a strong desire to help them continue to grow even after she returned home. As a wedding gift Justin’s brother Jared and his family gave Laura and Justin a website as a place to share their volunteer work with family and friends which quickly blossomed into Life’s Handy Work, an organization to support the children of NOH.
In July of 2011 Justin and Laura returned to Nepal together. Justin found the children to be as kind, loving and smart as Laura did when she volunteered in 2009. During their time in Nepal Justin found a deep respect for the people of Dhapasi and the staff at the NOH homes. They both enjoyed spending time with Michael and the children and spent much of their time teaching dance, computer lessons, tutoring and playing outside. They received cooking lessons from the boys home and a spent a day trekking around Kathmandu in search of a dry to ward of damp clothes during monsoon season. The trip was a success and cemented the love they both felt for the people of Nepal, the children and NOH. Both Laura and Justin came back to Washington with a renewed energy to make Life's Handy Work a success.
