A family foundation in Nepal, sustained by the Sharma family’s businesses — giving children an education, orphans a future, and elders without family the dignity they deserve. Our work starts in Kafal Danda, Syangja, the village where our story began.
This foundation carries the name of our grandmother, so that her name keeps working long after us — in classrooms, kitchens and homes across Syangja and beyond.
Many of us never had the chance to know her. We know her the way families come to know those who went before — through the lives she shaped. Her years were spent in the hills of Kafal Danda, in a time when village life asked everything of a woman, and her children walked toward a future she would not live to see. This foundation is how we meet her: by carrying that future to others.
Every generation of our family has been lifted by one thing: education. Choose a generation to read its part of the story.
Rather than simply distributing funds or goods, we invest in education, training, upskilling and real jobs — so that the people we work with can stand on their own, and one day lift others too.
Early education, literacy and schooling — the foundation everything else stands on.
Vocational training and upskilling in trades that lead to steady, dignified work.
Job placement and mentorship, drawing on the network of our family’s businesses.
A livelihood, a home, a future of their own choosing — and the means to help the next person up.
Some of our family’s proudest moments have been farewells — to people who came from their villages with little, found in our home a place to learn, and left to work at five-star hotels and build lives on land of their own. This foundation exists to make that journey the rule, not the exception.
Scholarships, school supplies and support that keep children learning — from their first classroom through to a trade or a degree.

Care, schooling and a path into skilled work for children without parents — so no child’s future depends on the family they lost.

Care, company and dignity for elderly people who have no family to lean on — honouring those who came before, as we honour our own.
Volunteer in Syangja →The hill village where our forefathers settled, where our father was born, and where our parents first built a life together. Our first programmes begin here — and will grow outward from here.
Our whole family lives under the grace of Garaun Kalika Maata. The Purnakala Foundation is rooted at her temple, and everything it does begins here.
The temple of Goddess Kalika stands on top of Garausur Hill in Waling, Syangja. It sits on Garhaunkot, an old fort from the Baise–Chaubisi era, when the Garhaunkot kings ruled this region.
Many patrons came together to rebuild the temple, and Dol Raj Sharma led the work from start to finish. Today it draws both pilgrims and visitors, and he continues to support the temple and the growth of the region around it.
“Our entire family is blessed by the mercy of Garaun Kalika Maata.”
Gatherings, community events and the places we serve — a growing record of the foundation’s work.
Funded and fueled by our family’s ventures.
We commit a portion of our annual earnings, alongside our technological and operational resources, to drive sustainable impact.
Purnakala means the moon at its fullest, every phase complete. It carries our grandmother’s name, and our hope that every life we touch can grow whole.
The rise and fall of the Syangja hills, where Kafal Danda sits and where our story began.
One unbroken line that holds it all together: family, village and the generations still to come.
Sponsor a child’s education, offer a training place or a job, or lend your time in Syangja. However you help, you help someone stand on their own.
