After the women's center was moved to Kathmandu, the building was converted into an orphanage to house children displaced by the Maoist conflict, which continues to undermine family life in much of rural Nepal. Two local women who were unable to follow the women's center to Kathmandu have taken responsibility for the care of the children and a local teacher has been hired to tutor them.
The orphanage currently houses fourteen children who are now provided with proper nutrition, education, and medical care.
A large portion of the expenses have been covered by Francois Szlapka and Friends in France.
