Light House Foundation Nepal (LHFN), exists to protect and improve the lives socially marginalised children who are vulnerable to or have been victims of human trafficking and child abuse. LHFN has rescued and protected hundreds of children, providing quality education, accommodation and healthcare to the children under its care and giving them the skills and opportunities required to become active and valued members of their community. 

Our Home Nepal is a Nepali NGO helping to break the cycle of child trafficking and sexual exploitation in Nepal, with a particular focus on the Badi and other Dalit (low caste) communities in Nepal. Its work covers the full lifecycle of rescue and rehabilitation, with a strong emphasis on trauma treatment, education and practical support, empowering survivors to build safe, independent lives. We work with OHN to implement a program of Rescue, Recover, Restore.

Venture works where injustice is most severe — targeting areas that are unsafe, unreached, and unresourced. Venture uses 100% of donations to bring hope to tough places – partnering with courageous leaders who deeply understand the complexities and dangers of the areas we serve. Its program include anti-trafficking, refugee care and women’s health and we work with them on the fight against trafficking in Nepal with rescue programs and follow up care.

Kids of Kathmandu is a charity initially set up to rebuild schools destroyed during the 2015 earthquake. Since inception it has built 10 schools across the country and is constantly evaluating new opportunities to expand its building program in the years to come. The Nepal Initiative collaborated and raised funds for KOK’s ninth school and is keen to work alongside KOK in future endeavours, including the possibility of a new school aligned with LHFN.

Ek Ek Paila, meaning “one step at a time,” was founded in the aftermath of the 2015 earthquake to bring essential medical help to remote areas. This initiative has since grown into a permanent clinic in Kathmandu, providing affordable medical treatment, and outreach missions to remote areas. The Nepal Initiative works with Ek Ek Paila to provide regular health checks and treatment where necessary to the children under the care of Light House Foundation.
