It is a non-profit organization established with a pious objective of helping the underprivileged children of Nepal. Happy Home is registered (Registration no. 759/063/064) with the Government of Nepal as a non-government organization to carry out child welfare activities. It is also duly affiliated with the Social Welfare Council, Nepal Government (Registration no. 19754/063/064), and the governing and monitoring body for all social organizations working in Nepal. Our operational budget and yearly report are audited annually by Government officers. Objectives Happy Home aims to provide the basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, health and education to disadvantaged children who have become victims of various social and political injustices widespread in the Nepali society. Unfair social structures, traditional caste system, widespread illiteracy and the decade-long Maoist insurgency all have contributed to the poor physical and living conditions of some Nepali children. Sadly, there are thousands of children in Nepal who are living in sub-standard conditions. Many of them are working as child laborers in factories and as domestic helps in the Nepalese households to the detriment of their general health and education. We at Happy Home strive to alleviate this awful reality by rendering the necessary needs and support to needy children as well as by creating awareness in the Nepalese society. The main objective of the Happy Home is to fulfill the basic needs of children under 18 years of age and uplift their living standard. To help those children who are displaced by domestic violence, and other social injustices. To help the needy children from the lower caste families orphaned children, and those from families that are unable to provide basic living conditions and education. To create awareness about the benefits of good nutrition and education among the parents of poor children. The Children/Happy Home International School The children range in age from 3 up to 16 years of age. They reside in our 2 abodes, one for the boys and one for the girls. They all receive a solid education at our school with classes ranging from lower Kindergarten through to level 8. Subjects taught at the Happy Home school are English, Mathematics, Science, Social, Accounts, Computer science, Music and Dance / Art, GK / Games and Nepali. Children who progress pass level 8 still reside at the Home, but attend a nearby public school. In addition to Happy Home children, there are also other disadvantaged children from the local community who attend our school on a daily basis. Sponsors How sponsors can help?
