Happy Home is currently running two projects:

1. Project A: Orphanage "Happy Home Hostel"
2. Project B: Educational Support for underprivileged Children in Nepali villages

Orphanage "Happy Home Hostel"

On June 01, 2007 we established our orphanage, the “Happy Home Hostel” in Boharatar, Kathmandu with space for 20 children. Here we provide a safe and healthy environment for homeless or parentless children; some of the children have even been abandoned by their guardians or forced into child labor. At the orphanage the children receive shelter, meals, clothing and healthcare. They attend nearby schools and all necessary expenses, fees and education materials are provided by Happy Home. We want to offer them the best facilities to enjoy their leisure time and thus, be able to experience a happy childhood.

How can sponsors help?

The Sponsors, individuals or organizations, can help break the children's vicious cycle of poverty by supporting them in a number of ways:

• Sponsor one or more children by providing a lump sum fund or a regular monthly budget
• Donate clothes or education materials
• Visit our Happy Home Hostel to play with them
• Join Happy Home as a volunteer for an extended period

The Happy Home Hostel offers accommodation for 20 children. With your sponsorship or donation the following benefits for each child can be provided at the orphanage:

Educational Support for underprivileged Children in Nepali villages

In addition to the orphanage, Happy Home is running another project for needy children in the villages of Nepal. This project targets those children who are living in a home with their parents or other guardians, but whose families are not able to cover the expenses of a school education. Happy Home helps them financially to get the child enrolled in nearby schools and ensures that they receive proper education. Happy Home currently supports 100 children within this project in remote and poor villages of Nepal. Our aim is to provide a good education for children of poor families and scheduled caste, and thus to enable them to lead a decent life in our society.
We at Happy Home believe in the dignity and equality of every human being and do not promote the caste system. Nevertheless we are aware, that being considered as “lower caste” leads to social discrimination and is often a huge obstacle in the way out of poverty.
