Himalayan Children’s Care
Home is a non-profit social
organization registered with
the Nepalese Government and
affiliated to the Social
Welfare Organization with
the aim of preserving
the rich cultural heritage
and raising the
socio-economic status of the
Himalayan and needy people
who are deprived of basic
education and primary health
care.
On 13th Nov 2006, The
Himalayan Children's Care
Home was founded with
children from extremely
deprived families living
together under one roof to
give them a better future.
In order to survive, parents
engaged their children in
household activities such as
fetching water, grazing the
cattle, collecting firewood
in all seasons, including
the dead cold winter. Due to
the harsh environment and
poor quality of land, many
people have dietary
deficiencies and suffer from
diseases. The Himalayan
Children’s Care Home ensures
a better life with free
education, health care, food
and lodging for such
children.
At present the home
has 33 children aged between
5 and 16. They are from
different villages in and
around the Mustang region.
Some of them are orphans;
some have only one parent
while others are from
financially poor families
who are not in a position to
afford any fees. Himalayan
Children’s Care Home is
aimed at providing a modern
education and upbringing. We
also aim to preserve the
unique Tibetan culture and
traditions that are
currently on the brink of
extinction. We wish our
children to live together by
developing respect, mutual
understanding and love for
nature.
