Our Children's Home in Oda

Our PRADIYA Children's Home is located in the Kalikot District of Nepal, in the community of Oda. Here, at the foot of the Himalayas, where nature is still virtually untouched, we create a sanctuary for children in the most difficult life circumstances — and hope for education and a future.

 

How it all began: The story of Oinak Singh

Oinak Singh inherited land in Oda from his grandfather. Instead of just using it for himself, he made it available to the PRADIYA Foundation. Here, in the foothills of the Himalayas, where people use traditional techniques for building, cooking, medicine, and agriculture, we put down roots.

 

The Challenge: Life circumstances for people in the villages are difficult. Heavy rainfall and blocked roads make transporting building materials difficult — everything has to be transported by hand. Costs are correspondingly high.

 

The current status: What we have built

Children's Home: Completed. 27 children live here in safe care.

School: Completed. 124 students receive an international education based on Waldorf principles.

Vegetable Gardens: Established. They secure nutrition and teach sustainable cultivation.

Total Students: Our school project will benefit 124 children — orphans, children from poor families, and children from the local community.

 

Who lives at the PRADIYA Children's Home?

We have taken 27 boys and girls aged 4 to 14 into our care, providing them with a home, security, and education.

In addition, we accommodate women who have experienced domestic violence. We offer them:

• Food and accommodation
• Medical care
• Crafts: weaving, agriculture, construction work
• Entrepreneurial skills — for economic independence

Waldorf School with International Principles

Our school is run according to Waldorf principles — a holistic educational approach with a Full Scholarship for all children, regardless of their background or wealth.

We teach:

• Academic Skills: Reading, writing, mathematics, sciences
• Life Skills: Compassion, kindness, self-confidence
• Sustainability: Organic farming, environmental awareness
• Spiritual Practice: Yoga, meditation, inner peace
• Vocational Training: Crafts, practical skills for the future

The Goal: Impact that Lasts

Our project in Oda is challenging. But we are convinced: with the passion, experience, and skills of our team, as well as through collaboration, dedication, and donations, we will achieve our goals.

This means: 27 children receive a chance for education, health, and hope. 124 schoolchildren learn that they have a future. Women find safety and economic independence.
