Nepal House Society

Nepal House Society aims to alleviate the suffering of traumatized children in Nepal. Civil war followed by civil and political unrest has taken their toll on the children of Nepal. Children have been on the receiving end of violence, exploitation and a lack of protection from local, municipal and national
authorities.

Nepal House was established to provide a means for children to heal and recover from abuse, neglect, violence, trauma and the loss of innocence. Through the use of art, play and talk therapy children are given something beyond two meals a day and life in an orphanage that offers little hope to many.

Nepal House trains Nepali Professionals (teachers, social workers, nurses; etc) to use therapeutic means to build connections and support children in becoming whole after a traumatic event has intervened in their lives. These Nepali counsellors in turn provide training and support to orphanage staff, school counsellors and other para-professionals in the community.

Experienced counsellors, social workers and professors from Canada, USA and other countries volunteer their time and pay their own way to Nepal to share their expertise with our Nepali staff.

We have four counsellors on staff and one assistant. We have one main counselling center and two annex offices; one providing support to children impacted by Aids and HIV and another in a more remote area of Pokhara with many at risk young children.

In 2011 we will open the first class of our Girls School to provide young girls at risk a safe place to attend school that will take into account the many challenges that they may have already faced in their young lives.
