What people ask most often about Sahara Ghar — where it is, who lives here, and how to help.
Sahara Ghar is a care home and rehabilitation shelter in Kailali district, in Sudurpaschim (Far-Western) Nepal. It is run under Helping Hands Nepal and has taken in people with nowhere else to go since 2070 BS, around 2013. Today, ~100 people live here.
The home is at Ward No. 2, Bardagoriya Rural Municipality, near Bauniya, in Kailali District, Sudurpaschim Nepal. The contact page has a map and the numbers to call before you set out.
Anyone who has been abandoned or left behind: people living on the streets in extreme destitution, people with mental illness and no family to care for them, elderly people, women and children with no one, and people with severe disabilities. No questions, and no exceptions.
Sahara Ghar operates under Helping Hands Nepal and is a government-recognised shelter in Kailali. The grants it has received and the people who support it are listed openly on the supporters page, including a National Planning Commission grant administered through Bardagoriya Rural Municipality.
