Introduction:
Human being is special creature of God. God created everything in the earth by just saying but He made man in His own image. Though, God loved His first children, man disobeyed His command and fell from His sight. Man made God force to chase them from heaven. The son of first man murdered his own brother. The various types of crimes and mistakes were increasing from that day.
Man is the social being. He lives in society. People made norms and values for the peace, safety and betterment of society. Some way, country also regulates laws and rules to rule the country. People must obey the rules and laws of nation. But, due to evil nature of mankind, most of the people, by force or desire, disobeyed the norms and values of nation. For this contradiction, prisons were born to improve the behaviour of criminal and to protect the rules and laws of country.
There is negative and positive impact in every field of work. Actually, the prisons were established to improve the behaviour of prisoners. But, because of imprisonment of head member of family, their children were highly affected. A beautiful and attractive family destroyed within a second because of imprisonment. The source of family income and joy cut out. Children lost their parents love and affection. Their tender mind and heart will be broke. They were out of caretakers. Some prisoners took their children in prison with them. What is the mistake children done, so that, they have to stay in prison? Nothing.
Every child has right to play, read, write and get love from its parents. But, after imprisonment, everything seized from them. It forces them to become firm and cruel. They were involved in simple to complex type of crime because they are out of their caretakers. They do what their undeveloped mind told them. Infact, it badly affect to their whole life. So, it is greatest challenge for society to take care of those children whose family was broken.
Prison Fellowship Nepal is a leading organization to take care of victim children through its Peace Loving Children Home. We guaranteed quality education and balance diet with sufficient sport materials for exercise.
Peace Loving Children's Home was born in 1995 under Prison Fellowship Nepal. But, the process was carrying from 1990 when we kept 5 jail victim children in Korean Home. But, due to poor management we returned children to prison in 1991. After that, we kept those 5 children as boarders in Serene Valley Boarding School, Kathmandu in 1992. We provide all financial support to them. We add other 10 children in 1994. After that, we kept all these fifteen children in our rented children home in Hadigaun, Kathmandu with 4 rooms in 1995. In 1998 we rented a single house in Gairidhara, Kathmandu. From Gairidhara we moved to Lazimpat, Kathmandu in our own Peace Loving Children Home in 2000 AD. It is one of the unique and challenging program responsible to play the parental role in the up-bringing of children from different jails of Nepal. The home is fully committed to take care of these children in all aspects.
