Parents and community elders are aware of the importance of education, but often they do not have the financial means to provide for children under their care. Haven on Earth Child Care Centre provides life-changing education, nourishment, medical care, safe shelter and healing to vulnerable children from some of Nepal's most destitute communities. The non-profit organisation currently provides for 21 children living at their centre.
Haven on Earth's philosophy flows from the realisation and acceptance that children have links and roots that need nurturing if they are to fully prosper and develop. In addition to education, they are taught practical life skills as a way to re-connect with family and the community. It is their aim to ensure that children under their care have access to education as a start to build a sense of worth enabling them to assist their parents to lift themselves from poverty.
Haven on Earth envisions a world in which all children can pursue a quality education, reach their full potential and contribute to their community.
