Our story
Moonlight Children’s Home was founded in the Kathmandu Valley in April 2009. Since the beginning, we have helped abandoned, homeless and orphaned girls, offering a caring home, education and safety.
About the organisation
A safe home, balanced and nutritious meals, schooling and learning materials, healthcare and trusted caregivers all help children flourish. We put each child’s individuality and dignity first, building family bonds and friendships that can last a lifetime.
Where possible, we help children stay connected with their families and friends. Difficult life circumstances alone should not be a reason to separate families.
Moonlight Children's Home has been run from the beginning by Ganesh Prasad Osti and his wife Juna Osti. Bimal Osti serves as Executive Director.
We offer nutritious meals, including diets tailored to medical needs or religious beliefs. Each girl has her own bed and space for personal belongings. We provide everyday comfort, psychological support and medical care, including for chronic conditions. The home has several bathrooms and toilets, a kitchen available around the clock and fast Wi-Fi.
All girls attend schools suited to their age and abilities. We provide school supplies, space to study and individual plans for independent living. We stay in touch after they leave and support their next steps, including university choices and career paths. We offer independent adult women the opportunity to use the services of Aura Girls’ Hostel, Godawari ↗ on preferential terms.
Moonlight Children’s Home is a family-style home where dialogue matters. Physical and psychological violence are not tolerated. We discuss house rules as a community and respect everyone’s rights, opinions and wishes, helping each girl grow up knowing that her voice matters.
ONE HOME. SHARED CARE.
Where possible, we help children stay connected with their families and friends. Difficult life circumstances alone should not be a reason to separate families.
