What We Do At BCH
What We Do At Blessed Children's Home
Blessed Children’s Home exists to do one thing, as well as we possibly can:
provide a stable, loving home for children in Central Nepal who have nowhere else to go.
We are not a big organization with many projects. We are one home, with one focus:
day-by-day care, education, and guidance for the children entrusted to us, within the laws and oversight of Nepal.
This page explains what that looks like in real life.
We care for around 30-35 children at a time, in family-style houses on a shared compound.
That means:
- Children live in small groups, not huge dormitories.
- They have consistent caregivers, not a constant stream of strangers.
- Daily routines look like a family, not a facility.
A normal day includes:
- Waking up, washing, and simple morning chores
- Breakfast together
- Walking to school and back
- Study time, play time, and meals
- Bedtime at a reasonable hour
Our goal is that every child feels:
- Safe - protected from harm and chaos
- Known - more than a number or case file
- Loved - surrounded by adults who will not walk away when it is hard
We believe education is one of the most practical gifts we can give.
Children from Blessed Children’s Home attend a local school within walking distance. From primary classes through higher grades, we:
- Pay school fees and exam fees
- Provide uniforms, shoes, bags, and books
- Support them with homework help and study routines
- Encourage good attendance, behavior, and effort
For older youth who qualify, we also help with:
- College or vocational training fees
- Transport costs and required materials
- Guidance in choosing a realistic, meaningful path for their abilities
- We are not trying to create “stars.” We are trying to give each child a fair chance to build a stable, productive life.
Most of the children who come to us have experienced some mix of:
- Loss of one or both parents
- Family breakdown or instability
- Extreme poverty and insecurity
This doesn’t go away the moment they arrive.
We work on emotional and relational healing through:
- Everyday presence - caregivers who listen, notice, and stay
- Individual attention - staff who know the children’s stories and personalities
- Healthy boundaries and discipline - consistent rules that create a sense of safety
- Basic counseling support - trained staff who can respond wisely to emotional needs
Children are encouraged to talk about their fears and struggles. We do our best to make sure:
- They know it is safe to speak
- They have more than one trusted adult they can go to
- Their concerns are taken seriously, not dismissed
- We cannot erase the past, but we can walk with them toward a different future.
We operate within Nepal’s child-protection laws and regulations, under a registered NGO with local governance.
In practice, that means:
- Children are received into the home through proper government and community channels, not informal private agreements.
We follow child-protection rules regarding:
- Accommodation
- Supervision
- Discipline
- Visitors and volunteers
We welcome annual financial audits, government renewals, and social audits where local representatives can review our work.
We take safeguarding seriously:
- No physical punishment
- No unsupervised access for visitors
- Clear expectations for staff behavior and boundaries
- You can read more detail on our Safeguarding & Child Protection page, but the simple summary is:
- We are here to protect children, not to expose them to new risks.
Children do not stay children forever. Our role is to prepare them for life beyond the home.
In daily life, they learn to:
- Wake themselves and manage basic personal hygiene
- Keep their rooms and shared areas tidy
- Help with simple chores like sweeping, washing dishes, or helping in the kitchen
- Manage schoolwork, time, and responsibilities
As they grow older, we help them think about:
- Suitable further study or training
- Practical job options that fit their strengths
- How to handle money, work, and relationships in a healthy way
We want them to leave Blessed Children’s Home as capable young adults, not dependent children with no idea how to function in the real world.
Blessed Children’s Home is led and staffed by Christians. Our faith shapes:
- How we see each child - as created by God and valuable
- How we work - with honesty, sacrifice, and dependence on God
- How we treat others - with patience, forgiveness, and respect
At the same time:
- We respect each child’s freedom of conscience.
- We comply with Nepali law regarding religious activity.
- Children are not forced to change their religion.
- Our focus is to live out our beliefs in daily life:
- through kindness, fairness, integrity, and prayer for the children and for our country.
We are part of a wider network that includes:
- Local ward and community leaders
- Relevant government offices responsible for children’s homes
- Local schools and teachers
- Churches and believers in the area
We:
- Report according to requirements
- Participate in social audits and community meetings when called
- Seek to maintain good, honest relationships with our neighbors
We want Blessed Children’s Home to be known not just for “helping children,” but for being a responsible, law-abiding, trustworthy presence in our community.
To be clear about our limits:
- We are not an adoption agency and do not arrange adoptions.
- We do not run a large orphanage with hundreds of children; we focus on a manageable number so we can know each one.
- We do not run a school ourselves at this time; children attend local schools.
- We do not guarantee perfect outcomes. Some children struggle. We walk with them as far as we can.
- We would rather do one thing properly than many things poorly.
Everything described on this page, the meals, the school fees, the safe buildings, the staff who stay year after year, is only possible because people like you:
- Pray for the children and staff
- Give toward daily care, education, and staff support
- Stand with us when times are difficult
When you partner with Blessed Children’s Home, you are not funding a concept. You are helping provide:
A home, a future, and an education for very specific children in a very real place.
