After learning that a girl from Borobong, who was without a guardian, was not able to study, Tamankhola Rural Municipality Chairman Joklal Budha helped her with her education 5 years ago. He was also the chairman during his first term.
After that support, the idea of running a children's home came to his mind. Then, when this proposal was made in the executive meeting and village assembly, everyone accepted it. To protect the rights of children granted by the constitution, a plan was made to provide free food and accommodation to the children without a guardian, extremely poor and distressed children within the municipality.
On the same basis, the municipality has been operating a children's home by renting a house in Tamangaun, Ward No. 3 of Tamankhola Rural Municipality since 2079 BS. Ward Chairman Jhak Bahadur Budha said that since the same year, the rural municipality has been allocating Rs 1 million per year for the operation of the children's home. Arrangements have been made for them to study at the local Dhangaujyoti Secondary School. After giving SEE, there is a plan to send them to Bongadobhan, the municipality headquarters, or elsewhere. So far, the children here have reached grade 10.
Village council chairman Joklal Budha said that the construction of this home has made it easier to protect constitutional rights. ‘When someone asks us what rights and responsibilities under the constitution we have fulfilled, we have been told that we have built a children’s home,’ he said, ‘if we can afford the budget, we will build a separate house and operate it.’ Currently, this children’s home has been operating by renting a house from a local in Taman village. Currently, there are 17 dependents here, including 16 children and 1 nanny.
Every year, the municipality has been arranging food grains for the children, while various organizations, Lions Clubs, etc. have been coming here and distributing educational materials, clothes, etc. to the children. Some have also criticized this work. Although they said that citizens would have a negative view of children placed in the orphanage, ward chairman Jhak Bahadur Budha said that the municipality has worked for charity and a bright future for children, and said that this is a model work.
‘No matter what those who do not do it say, this is a model of the rural municipality and a work to protect the rights of children,’ Budha said, ‘No matter who gives information, we will go and bring those children and help them.’ Children who have become homeless due to floods and landslides, or who have lost their parents due to accidents or other reasons have been happy to have friends here. Work has also been done to take them out from time to time and arrange for them to play games.
The society that used to view orphanages negatively has started to consider this situation as good after seeing this situation. "At first, we were wondering what would happen, but we were happy to see that many people were able to secure their future," said Deepak Kandel, associate professor at Dhaulagiri Multiple Campus in Baglung. "We have also returned after reaching there and providing a small amount of help."
