Why This Project Matters:

The main objective of the OGN is to be able to help these children stand on their own two legs and take control of their lives through good education in a caring, conducive and loving environment. The OGN helps parents by providing the care and love that is needed for their children while their parents work, so that these children do not become rag pickers but have a stable and a reliable future. All the parents who have kids at the OGN are daily wage earners who work for two decent meals. The children have no place to go. They are either left in their houses like Laxmi or are left in the care of an elder child. These elder children often resort to stealing, are a bad influence and ultimately have a dark and bleak future.

At the OGN, our children total 60 in number and an average of 50 come by each day for day care and schooling programs. Seeing the inconvenience of these children and helpless situation of these parents and to avoid the biggest truth: If not cared for, these children will go back to the streets. This is the driving force behind the Orchid Garden Nepal's very existence.

More Information About This Project:

"The children of Today are the leaders of Tomorrow". But what "Tomorrow" will impoverished Nepali families see…House maids, small vegetable vendors … What is the future of their children? Children born to wealthy families have more opportunities to find respectable professions.

What about children belonging to economically deprived, socially boycotted and financially down-trodden families? Don't they deserve equal rights and opportunities? or will they be denied the privileges others receive? Giving these children the tools to reach their dreams is why the Orchid Garden Nepal was born.

This is a non-profit organization with the basic aim of providing and protecting the rights, welfare and health of the children belonging to the discriminated, deprived section of our society. The sole purpose of the Orchid Garden Nepal (OGN) is to provide care and quality education for all who come here, to help these children grow, learn, discover and more over, to be a child.

To make the parents of these "orchids" realize that it was not a mistake that they were born. To make them see a ray of hope which starts to shine through Orchid Garden Nepal. The Garden is a day care and a preschool center for children belonging to parents or single mothers/fathers and are between the ages 6 months to 5 years old are taken care of. These parents leave their children at this day care and schooling center and pick them up when they are off work. The lives of our children are affected by extreme poverty. Some have fathers just for the namesake, who are alcoholics, who physically abuse not only their wives but children too.

Such abuse was the reality for a small girl, Laxmi, which sends shivers down one’s spine and describes the environment many of these children have to endure. From the time of her birth until she was 2 years and 3 months old, she lived at home with her mother only. Her father died shortly after her birth from an alcohol-related illness. Her mother was forced to leave home at 7 A.M. to work for a square meal at a construction site by carrying gravel. Upon her departure from home, her aunt would tie Laxmi in a chair leaving her alone at home, to attend work too. Her aunt would return at 1:00 pm to change and feed her. Before she left Laxmi would be tied again until her mother returned at 6:00 P.M. This child would not walk nor speak until OGN rescued her and fought against the woes of her fate. Today she is studying in a school in the nursery class and holds a position in the class.
