Nepal is home to one of the highest numbers of orphans in the world, largely due to widespread poverty, unemployment, and the aftermath of the Nepali Civil War (1996–2006), which killed over 15,000 people and displaced 150,000. These events left government social programs devastated.
Today, more than 50% of Nepal’s population lives on less than $1 a day. Many children are forced into labor at a young age under harsh and unsafe conditions, with little hope for education. With no welfare support available for struggling families, child abandonment remains tragically common. Domestic violence and social discrimination also contribute to the growing number of orphaned and vulnerable children.
HFN partners with local orphanages across Nepal to expand support networks and care for abandoned and at-risk children. Your support can provide shelter, food, education, and most importantly—hope for a better future.
Support a Child – Choose a Category
We have two categories of children in need of support:
These children live in our partner orphanages. Many have lost one or both parents and have no family support. Your sponsorship helps provide them with shelter, food, education, and a safe, loving environment.
These children live with their families but are from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Their parents struggle to afford even basic needs like school fees, uniforms, and daily meals. Your support helps keep them in school and gives their families hope.
👉 Please let us know which category of child you would like to support:
