Children's Trust Nepal

We are a small charity based in the West Midlands (UK) established in 2004 and registered with the Charities Commission in 2011. Run by an enthusiastic and dedicated group of volunteers, we guarantee that every penny raised funds our work in Nepal.

Central to this is Bethany Children’s Home, situated in the small town of Dhading in central Nepal. It provides a loving, happy family life for orphans and needy children in a healthy environment, surrounded by green hillsides and a friendly community.

Enrolled in local schools which teach in English, our children receive a good-quality education and, according to their abilities, job training or further education for a successful future.

Home Building

At first we rented a suitable house but once established we decided to build our own Home by raising funds for a pleasant piece of land down a small lane, only ten minutes walk from the local shops and children’s schools. Designed by a local architect to our own specification, we then worked hard to provide the building. In May 2012, although not completely finished inside, our family were excited to move into their new home.

We continue to maintain and improve it – with annual monsoons, regular maintenance is essential! One of our projects for 2021 is a complete re-paint to keep the Home looking fresh and smart.

Local Communities

Whilst the Home and our children will always be the main focus or our work, we were also keen to offer help in the neighbouring areas. Nepal is a poor country but its people are cheerful, enthusiastic, hard-working and determined to get on with life. Mostly farmers and small shopkeepers, they nevertheless value education and want the best for their children.

So having achieved the goal of building our own Home we looked towards the countryside outside Dhading – to the village where our Housefather Babin grew up. We’d already brought fresh water to the community, provided school packs for children and held adult-literacy classes, and amongst other projects we’ve re-built much of the old village school and entered into a local partnership to start up and equip a health centre providing basic care, treatment and advice when the nearest hospital can be hours away.

Nepal has also seen a number of natural disasters in recent years – earthquakes in 2015, torrential floods in 2017 – so we’ve been able to provide direct assistance for the relief efforts. Follow the link above for more examples of the work we’ve done.
