Children’s Home Timeline

1989

Children’s Home originated with the initiation of Mr. Pratap Ram Lohar and Mrs. Duri Devi Lohar at Kumaripati, Lalitpur. At that time, there were no organizations that admitted and cared for orphaned and abandoned children from the disadvantaged communities. Then, permission was taken from the Social Welfare Coordination Council which was the only entity that provided approval for NGOs to operate. This child protection program had about a dozen children. It was shifted to hostel premises of Nepal National Social Welfare Association.

1990

This was the time when the current President, Mr. Uttar Tamata, joined the organization as a manager. Initially for a few months a Finnish association provided support.

There was no means of providing care and services for the children after the funding stopped. There were no provisions for food and financial means to provide other essential services for the children, let alone the staff members. The hostel was like a haunted house, without proper windows, beddings, kitchen and desperately needing maintenance.

A group of wives of Marwadi corporate businessmen provided food support for some time. The hostel was, however, located in a tourist route. As the current President was toiling on the land to grow vegetables, a tourist visited the center and contributed for its operation. Another German volunteer assisted to design and develop a newsletter that had a concept of producing leather goods and handicraft to generate income to run the orphanage. It was printed in litho printing machine and circulated to most of the international NGOs that were working in Nepal then. However, there was no positive response.

The first inter country adoption was facilitated. The family donated few hundred dollars. They also established an association later to support Children’s Home and started to sponsor children. There were many organizational and administrative issues with the parent organization where the children were residing. The program had to leave the premises.

With the political changes and new legislation, Children’s Home was registered as an NGO at Kathmandu District Administration Office.

The contribution to rent a flat at Kalimati Dole was supported by one of the senior staff of Hotel Soaltee Crowne Plaza. After shifting, the support from Marwadi businessmen’s wives ceased due to miscommunication.

The program had grown to care for seventeen children. The day-to-day management of the program was a real challenge as there were no steady means.

During this time, one of the recipients of the newsletter, an international NGO operating in Nepal made enquiry and visited the center. They provided support for bed and bedding.
