We supported the Happy Home Children’s Homes in Nepal. Happy Home was a non-profit, locally run organisation, established in 2005 and was supported by our partner organisation in Nepal. In 2010 Happy Home was established as a registered children’s home by the Nepal Social Welfare Council.
There were two Happy Homes, one in Pokhara and one in Chitwan. Happy Homes’ mission was to provide the homeless and abandoned children of Nepal with shelter, food, healthcare and education.
Due to Covid-19 and changes to government legislation, the Children’s Homes unfortunately had to close. The children returned to their villages, where they are now cared for by extended family member or neighbours. We aim to continue to support the education needs of children in Nepal directly in their homes, villages and schools.

“Our aim is to provide children who have either lost their parents through death from illness or accident or have been abandoned or working in child labour situations with a safe and caring environment, a “Happy Home”. Given that our priorities are equality, understanding and acceptance of people, we have, in the Happy Home, children from a broad range of religious, tribal and caste structures. Living together, working through differences, fostering a family atmosphere, getting a good education, and generally sharing life together is an important part of achieving this priority‘.
