THE LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT - NEPAL
Updated June 2011

The Lighthouse Project in Nepal provides safe drinking water, education, accommodation and rehabilitation for street children who have often been abandoned and abused.

The life of street children in Nepal is one of desperation and misery. Abandoned by parents who can no longer afford them, they pick through the rubbish for food and scavenge for plastic to sell. Drug use among these children is prolific. The Light House gives children the opportunity to come off the streets and live in a loving home. They are provided with food, clothing and education, eventually being reintegrated into the community with hope for the future and self supporting skills. Currently the 24 children are housed in rented facilities in quite cramped conditions, so we are building new premises on land purchased by Global Compassion.

Construction of the first of two dormintories at the site of our new 'Lighthouse' children's home is progressing well as you can see from the photos on the right.

We run a child sonsorship programme for the Lighthouse Project. For more information visit the child sponsorship page
