With great excitement, ARC for Nepal has officially celebrated the opening of the Samsara Ghar temporary home, a safe haven for children in need. This milestone marks the beginning of a new journey for 10 children who now have access to safety, care, and the opportunity to pursue their dreams. Alongside them, three dedicated staff members will provide guidance and support as they embrace this new chapter of their lives.


Samsara Ghar was created with a clear mission: to provide a nurturing, stable, and supportive environment for children who have faced significant hardships.

The opening of the temporary home is a significant milestone, bringing us closer to our vision of ensuring every child has access to a stable environment, quality education, and emotional support.



For the 10 children welcomed into Samsara Ghar, this marks the beginning of a new life full of hope and opportunity. These children will receive access to education, nutritious meals, healthcare, and a community of care comprising attentive staff, supportive peer relationships, and engaging activities designed to nurture their emotional and developmental needs.


Joining us, Laxmi, the dedicated caretaker, will provide daily care and guidance, ensuring each child feels secure, valued, and nurtured. Rajani, who will join as a part-time teacher, will play a pivotal role in the children’s education, offering personalized attention to support their academic growth.



Additionally, a dedicated cook will prepare nutritious meals that contribute to the children’s physical well-being and development.


Samsara Ghar’s temporary home is equipped with a newly built kitchen, designed to provide wholesome meals essential for the children’s health and development.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a multi-functional eating and study area that fosters a sense of community and learning. Equipped with a television for educational programming, a whiteboard for lessons, and ample space for collaborative activities, the area encourages holistic growth.

In preparation for the children’s arrival, a local tailor was invited to take individual measurements, ensuring that each child would receive custom-fitted clothing—an important tradition in Nepal. This gesture provides the children with comfortable, well-tailored attire that fosters a sense of pride and belonging while supporting the local economy. By sourcing services from the local community, Samsara Ghar wishes to empower local artisans and promote sustainable craftsmanship. This approach also strengthens the community’s role in this transformative journey.


This achievement is a testament to the generosity of donors and supporters who have made this vision a reality. As Rajendra Shrestha, Co-Founder of ARC for Nepal, shares:


"In underprivileged communities nationwide, many children from impoverished families are disadvantaged in terms of educational opportunities due to financial instability, which also restricts their access to fundamental necessities such as food, clothing, and housing. I am thrilled to offer these children wholesome food, medical care, and high-quality education. I firmly believe that one book, one pen, and one teacher can bring about a profound impact on the world. "

While this temporary shelter marks a crucial first step, it is only the beginning of Samsara Ghar’s long-term vision. As the organization works toward permanent facilities, the temporary home will continue to serve as a place where children can focus on their education, health, and personal growth.


ARC for Nepal extends its heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved in making this possible and invites others to join in supporting the children of Samsara Ghar as they embark on this transformative journey. Together, we can create a lasting difference in the lives of children who deserve the chance to flourish.
