The Chitwan Happy Home is located in Nawalparasi, a small village in the Terai region of Nepal nearby the Chitwan National Park. The development was established by INFO Nepal in 2002, starting life as a single building community library supported by local people and international volunteers, where the local village children could attend after school for additional lessons. Additional land was later purchased and the Happy Home was built. 
There are two buildings; a main building which consists of a kitchen and dining room and accommodation for volunteers and a separate building where the children sleep.
