The HORAC Home – Growing Children in a Family, Not an Institution

---

The HORAC Home is a place where children do not simply stay they belong. For children who have experienced loss, neglect, or violence, this home becomes a turning point: a space where safety replaces fear, routines restore stability, and trust is slowly rebuilt.

Care begins with the presence of devoted house mothers and didis, who prepare daily meals, guide household routines, and offer the emotional warmth that helps children feel secure. Their role goes far beyond daily care they become anchors of consistency in children’s lives.

Education and discipline are central to life at HORAC. Teachers and mentors support children with homework, academic guidance, discipline, and sports, helping them develop confidence, focus, teamwork, and resilience. Learning continues beyond the classroom, shaping habits and values that prepare children for future challenges.

Behind the scenes, a dedicated administration and office team ensures the smooth functioning of the home. They manage daily operations, supplies, documentation, and coordination making sure the children have everything they need, from learning materials to basic necessities. Their work allows caregivers and teachers to focus fully on the children.

What makes the HORAC Home truly special is the strong sense of shared responsibility. Older children naturally care for the younger ones like brothers and sisters offering guidance, protection, and friendship. Younger children, in turn, learn respect, trust, and cooperation. Every child has age-appropriate responsibilities, helping them understand accountability, teamwork, and the value of contributing to their community.

At HORAC Nepal, childhood is not only about protection it is about preparation. We focus on nurturing life skills, discipline, communication, leadership, and practical abilities that children need to succeed in the real world. Our goal is not just to care for children today, but to equip them for independent, dignified, and meaningful lives tomorrow.

For our international supporters, the HORAC Home represents a long-term commitment: transforming vulnerability into strength, dependence into confidence, and uncertainty into hope.

At HORAC Nepal, we are not raising children in care we are raising future adults with purpose, skills, and compassion.
