Growth 2008 – 2023
In 2008 we partnered with a local Nepali family desiring to change lives among the undervalued and neglected of their society. Together we launched a new orphan home, a rehabilitation home for trafficking survivors, and a farmland enterprise to support these programs. While our farmland is currently up for sale as we look for land with better irrigation, it has provided several tons of produce for our programs along with profits to help fund our work. While the farmland is in transition, our current gardening project is producing a steady flow of fresh organic vegetables for our trafficking survivors.
Our Nepal orphan home was in operation from 2008 through 2023. A total of 28 children have come through the home. Some have been with us from the beginning and are now in their college experiences– in which we continue to guide and support them– or have actually moved on into the workplace as productive adult citizens!
In 2023, our Nepal team shifted their focus entirely to our She Has Hope Rehabilitation Home and Trade School. Our “She Has Hope” trafficking rehabilitation home is providing trauma recovery for survivors of human trafficking. They are given secure housing, nutritious fresh-cooked meals, medical care, and courses designed to equip them with marketable skills or small business capabilities, along with practical knowledge such as modern gardening techniques, cooking classes, and literacy support. Some of the creations made in their craft making classes can be purchased to support their program at SheHasHope.org.
