Reasons for establishing a children home with the help of foreign foundation/donors
There are many children homes in Nepal but only a few have got fund from foundation/donors. However, many children homes were opened with registration in Nepal government, in reality no Nepalese people can run a single children home with own fund. Many were opened assuming that they will get foreign donation in future, which is the main cause of lack of quality food, accommodation and quality education in those children homes. So this organization has planned to open a children home with close coordination and help from foundation/donors.

Reporting
Progress reports will be sent in three months, in six moths and in a year.
