According to our law there is justice for every criminal offense .But what if the criminal is a women who has a small child without any other guardian or if she is expecting one.
Now here is the untold story of injustice and suffering of these innocent lives . These children were forced to spend their lives in imprisonment with their mothers. Where they were forced to raise in the central country yard , without proper toilet ,bedding and always mingling with wicked criminals . At the time of reading books they learn how to execute serious crime and abuse others and unknowingly became criminals themselves.No one even bothered about such inhuman act.

But it was not easy for her to start the initiative. At beginning phase the women were also not comfortable to give the responsibility of their children as she was very young ,even the jailer accused her to sell the children. But Pupa’s perseverance, love and care melted their heart took away all their distrust.
She started her endeavor in cramped $100-a-week apartment in Kathmandu with toys ,furniture scavenged from her friends and family. Without any source of money every day was a big challenge for her to continue and after two years older children had to go to orphanage. But after seeing the improper environment of orphanage she extended her services to residential care. Where the children learn not only the school books but also how to respect elders and their own culture. From 4 now has been increased to 44 members in a three storey residential hostel. Where all the children can breathe in fresh air without any shadow of crime . But no castle can ever be as beautiful and big as Pushpa’s warm heart ,where every homeless child can find its very own home and a bright happy childhood.
