NEW LIFE BAPTIST CHILDREN’S HAVEN

NEW LIFE BAPTIST CHILDREN’S HAVEN

In 1985. I and my wife meena started the new life children’s haven,and orphanage that initially cared for the needs of twelve children. This increased to 150, and by God’s grace we hope to eventually accommodate over three thousand. Our policy for taking the child in our new life christian children haven orphanage is to obtain a recommendation from the district authorities both political and administrative chief officers. children poverty and inability of the parents of the child to look after the child due to debilitating illness or physical/mental handicap.

Our expansion program seeks to establish small family units (12-16 children) all over Nepal so the children will enjoy maximum attention and affection. The central leadership will issue guidelines for all the family homes to assist foster parents in educating, socializing, and caring for the children.The estimated budget for running the homes include rent and utilities and have been calculated on the basis of family homes rental and the target for the first year being considered 1000 children and gradually adding 1000 more children in each successive year supporting staff salaries are calculated on the basis of each home.
