Girls Home

Untouchable

Imagine. No birth records, no rights, no opportunity, no death records. You are designated ’Untouchable’. Existing your entire life without an identity. The people living in Musahar communities are struggling to establish their identity and improve their social and economic conditions. For the Musahar, globalization and modernization are unknown and have brought no positive changes in their lives, but instead have put them further behind. People of this group are still compelled to live in the same situation as they have been for the past centuries. They live in groups of 20-25 small straw huts. Their main occupations are washing, fishing, and manual labor. The income they make in these occupations is not sufficient to meet their daily needs.

This Girls home will provide 12 girls with an education, stability, love, care, and protection. Protection from child marriage, working in a brick factory, being trafficked into child slavery, or worse. By giving them a caring home, these young girls will come to know that they are special, valued, and created in the image of a loving God. In the future, they can be an example and leaders who raise their voice for the ‘untouchables’ (their moms and dads). Funds have already been given for a long term lease on a building and we are looking for monthly support of $90 per month for each of the 12 girls. We also accept partial monthly support and one time gifts. As always with Reach Out-Nepal, 100% of your funds go directly to support the child (we pay the overhead so you don’t have to).
