Indreni
(IE, CHY18422) Browse events
YTD Raised: €2,004.13Indreni Children’s CharityHow it started Indreni is a non-profit charitable organization whose founders in Nepal have come from similar impoverished backgrounds as the children Indreni now cares for. It was through gaining a good education and care through another international charitable organization that has inspired them to live a life of service and provide an opportunity for children to be educated and cared for who would be otherwise lost to poverty and child labor. Indreni also has a wider vision to effect change in Nepalese society and as well as caring for the children will develop programmes to empower women and help care for the elderly, a lot of whom live in dire and squalid conditions in Kathmandu. Indreni started its work in May 2008 by opening a Children’s Home. This is the dream of the young founders who want to bring about a shift in their society by providing poor and needy children a family environment, good shelter, food and education with care, irrespective of a childs birth, caste, sex, religion, background and nationality. Indreni Ireland came about as a result of the Founder of Indreni Ireland, Keith Molony, trekking in Tibet and meeting the main inspiration behind Indreni, Ram Hari Khadka, and subsequently becoming great friends. It was after a trip to Kathmandu to see the work of Ram Hari that Keith was inspired to set up Indreni as an Irish charity to support the great work being done in Kathmandu and with the help of friends and family in Ireland has been able to grow Indreni to care for the 30 children currently in Indreni. Indreni Vision: To build an environment and a home where every child gets to enjoy their childhood rights and live with self respect, high self esteem, dignity and joy. Mission Statement: Children are the Future! To help remove child poverty from Nepalese society by giving them an opportunity to have proper education, good shelter and all the elements of a good childhood accepted as normal in so much of the world but alien to much of Nepal. Indreni Children’s Home is an effective tool to help eradicate child labor, poverty and social discrimination against the most important members of our society, our Children. The Children’s Home: The work of Indreni's founders has resulted in a home and education being provided for 30 children in Kathmandu. As people have come in contact with Indreni's founders through daily life or on visits/treks they have been inspired and want to help. This non-profit foundation now opens Indreni up to the world where we can all help and where a little contribution can go a huge way to breaking the cycle of child poverty and neglect in one of the poorest countries in the world. Any contribution goes directly to the children and their care and directly building their future and a better future for Nepal. Name as the goal “Indreni stands for rainbow in Nepali. Each colour has its own value and identification and when combined has a separate meaning and a destination. Thus we consider each child as Indreni because they stay under the same roof and have their own values and destiny similar to that of a rainbow. One beginning, living in mutual harmony with high aims. Our home is a replication of a blissful rainbow.” Ram Hari Khadka, Founder, Indreni.
