|
SAHARA Group had operated a total of two children's home Nepalgunj and Syangja for two years. Due to the conflicting situation, the centers were impossible to run in the mentioned station. Later the center established for conflict affected children of Nepalgunj were shifted to Kathmandu and the center established for destitute and orphan children was shifted to Pokhara. Now the organization is running two centers i.e. one in Kathmandu and one in Pokhara respectively. These children's homes are being operated with the financial assistance from the group of Australian donors, individuals, and corporate houses.
