About Indreni

Indreni was born out of the vision of its founders who have grown up and lived through childhood poverty and without family support directly in Nepal.

Indreni is the Nepalese word for rainbow, reflected in our logo and representative of the inclusive nature of the organization, helping children irrespective of their beliefs, culture, or country.

“Each colour has its own value and identification and when combined has a separate meaning with and a destination. Thus we consider each child as Indreni because they stay under the same roof and have their own values and destiny similar to that of a rainbow. Our home is a replication of a blissful rainbow.” Ram Hari Khadka, President of Indreni Children’s Home

Healthcare

We provide the children with appropriate healthcare.

Education

All children go through kindergarten, academic and practical education, as well as extracurricular activities like IT programmes, martial arts, drama, music, sports.

College Support

We provide support for the children that allows them to go to college.

Work Support

We also provide work Support such as network to restaurants, schools and other potential places of employment.

Our Projects

We have completed some amazing projects but we always have ongoing projects happening on the ground in Nepal.

Completed Projects

First Home – The Beginning of Hope (2008)

Indreni’s very first home was built in 2008, marking the start of our journey to provide a safe, loving environment for children in need. This home became a haven for 20 children, offering shelter, care, education, and the foundations of a better future.

Second Home – Growing Our Family (2012)

As our family grew, so did the need for space. In 2012, we built our second home, doubling our capacity to support vulnerable children. This milestone enabled us to welcome more children into a nurturing, stable environment where they could thrive. 2nd home allow us to have girls and boys living separately.

Third Home – A Community Takes Shape (2018)

In 2018, we completed our third home—transforming our vision from a single shelter to a vibrant community. This expansion strengthened our ability to provide holistic care, education, and a true sense of belonging to over 70 children.

Mountain School, Simthali – Education at the Edge of the World

High in the hills of rural Nepal, Indreni helped transform a neglected village school in Simthali into a vibrant center of learning. With rebuilt classrooms, dedicated teachers, and school supplies, over 120 children in this remote community now have daily access to quality education—many for the first time in their lives.

Ongoing Projects Initiatives Campaigns

Micro-Financing Co-operative – Empowering Families for the Future

We have set up a co-operative with funding from Ireland, providing capital to 100 women from rural villages. this gives access to money to start businesses and work. We also provide access to cash crops and livestock like goats and chickens so that they can produce milk and eggs for consumption and selling. Our Nepalese-led team also plant various types of tress to provide access to food and additional revenue sources.

Arunodaya School – A Beacon of Opportunity in a Village

Indreni started sponsoring the middle school and high school education programme in Arunodaya school for the children of the surrounding village. These children would usually have to walk for 1 hour to get to the nearest high school every day. This benefits the children of the community greatly. Before this, they would have had to either move to the city for education or walk 3-4 hours to the nearest +2 school for higher study. ​

Rainbow Heart Project Teacher Training

Indreni are undergoing training for teachers through the Rainbow Heart Project Teacher Training. The Rainbow Heart Project offers Nepali teachers access to a transformative experiential education rooted in a unique approach that brings together the Buddhist principles of developing wisdom and compassion and the Waldorf education methodology by training Nepali teachers in this pedagogy for two years. This benefits the children in Indreni's care as well as the children from the surrounding area who also attend the schools we support.

Setidevi Basic School – Lifting Up Rural Education

Indreni is sponsoring 4 teachers in Setidevi Basic School. Providing a free meals for the entire school. Since implementing our meal programme, attendance at school has rocketed, showing how vital this is for local families. We are also providing educational materials for all of the 100 children including school bags, and school uniforms. Indreni have built a library and provided the materials for the children to enhance their extra curricular education. Indreni have created a playground for the children, including a volleyball net and area where they can enjoy during break time.

Building Shwetbarahi School – Investing in Generations to Come

Indreni is currently building Shwetbarahi School, a major new educational facility designed to serve hundreds of children in a fast-growing community near Kathmandu. This ambitious project will offer modern classrooms, trained teachers, and a safe learning environment—laying the groundwork for brighter futures for generations of students.

Plantations – Growing Sustainability and Self-Reliance

Indreni is currently helping farmers in the remote mountains to better their farming knowledge of fruit and plants. This will provide them with a better future and will help them to protect their surrounding environment. We brought running water to the village, and we planted 30,000 fruit trees. We have rebuilt a volunteer home which allows members of Indreni to work in the community. We are employing local farmers to plant and care for the plantation, giving vital assistance to the local economy.
