Sponsor a woman at the shelter home

Many of the women at our shelter home have experienced significant trauma or abuse. You can support one of our women and help them recover and rebuild their lives. Our hope for all our women is that they become independent and ultimately leave the shelter home. You can sponsor a woman during her rehabilitation time at the shelter.

The sponsorships costs $62,5 a month, $750 a year. This will cover her living costs, medical expenses, training and any psychological counselling that is required. We are also very happy if you would prefer to offer a part-sponsorship.

We will send you regular updates about how the woman you are are sponsoring is progressing and of course, you can visit the shelter at anytime.

If you are interested in sponsoring one of our woman please contact us for more detailed information and we can provide information on their background and how they came to live in the shelter.

We hope you choose to become part of our family!

As you can see there are still women who need sponsoring.

Women and girls face significant discrimination in Nepal. It is very common for women and girls to work harder than men, often in physically demanding jobs. Many girls are not allowed to attend school or finish their education. Child marriages are still wide spread and the girls, often married too much older men, have no chance to create their own future. Domestic violence and sexual abuse are also serious issues. Most cases are not registered and there is rarely any effective investigation.

Many children from poor families in Nepal are used as cheap labourers. They work hard, seven days a week, and cannot attend school. Due to extreme poverty the parents have no other choice. As one of the 20 poorest countries in the world, homelessness is a huge problem in Nepal with many women and children living on the streets. They are at risk of violence, trafficking into the sex trade and many suffer from severe malnutrition.

In the following pages, you can see the main issues and short stories from women and children we have helped. Thanks to the work of The Women’s Foundation Nepal these women and children now lead happy and fulfilling lives.

Sponsor a child at the Shelter Home

Funding a sponsorship is a great thing to do as you can transform the life of a child in Nepal by funding their food, shelter and education. You will lay the foundations for their future and give them the best chance to build empowered and rewarding lives. We ensure that all the children in our care reach their educational and career goals and with your help we can work together to support our children’s futures.

A full sponsorship covering all costs: living costs, medical expenses and school fees costs approx. $1200 a year ( from kindergarten to grade 7 ) whereas approx $1350 a year( grade 8, 9, 10 ) . We are also very happy if you would prefer to offer a part-sponsorship.

We will send you regular updates about how your child is doing and of course, you can visit your child at the shelter at anytime.

If you are interested in sponsoring a child please contact us for more detailed information about the child and we can provide information on their background and how they came to live in the shelter.

We hope you choose to become part of our family!

To help overcome traumas

The Women’s Foundation Nepal provides free psychological counselling throughout Nepal to women and children who have suffered abuse, violence or extreme poverty. Since 1988, we have provided psychological counselling to more than 1,000 women. WFN employs 3 experienced psychological counsellors.

It can take years to overcome a violent trauma like being abused or raped. It is essential that victims are able to access psychological counselling to help them to handle the trauma and rebuild their lives. Many victims of abuse are unable to access psychological counselling as there are no government initiated schemes and they have no money to afford private treatment. Victims can come to the WFN and we will provide them with treatment and allow them to get back their self-esteem, strength and happiness.
