Mission We focus our efforts in Nepal on vulnerable children and youths by creating a local, loving and enabling home environment. By supporting capability-based education, children and youths are enabled to build a self-reliant life Activities Prabina Foundation currently provides a safe home, access to quality education, and health and well-being to over 80 Nepali children and youths in order to enable them to build a self-reliant and dignified life. The Prabina Foundation is able to carry out the following core activities through the support of sponsor parents, individual donations and grants: A safe home Access to quality education Transition support to self-reliance Health and well-being We are a loving, large family made up of Nepali children and youths and sponsor parents and donors from Europe. Our sponsor parents are in regular, personal contact and exchange with their respective child or youth as we believe that this form of direct sponsorship and care is integral to building trusting, long-term relationships. We enable while respecting the local context and culture, and nurture the entire education and well-being of vulnerable children and youths to help ensure they receive 360 degree care. This holistic approach translates into support for the individual, capability-based needs of each Prabina student. Our enabling approach aims to ensure that each student is accompanied through their entire education until they are self-reliant and able to live on their own with dignity. After completing their sponsorship they usually lead a self-reliant life, have built something for themselves and keep telling the story of how being a member of our big Prabina family has changed their life for good in a sustainable way.
