Supporting Families Recovering

from medical treatment

Once a haven for children living with HIV, our New Life Center now supports all families in need, helping them recover and return home stronger.

what we do

providing a safe haven for recovery

The New Life Center (NLC) in Kathmandu provides a temporary recovery home for rural families who travel to the city for essential medical treatment and surgery.

Children and expectant mothers receive compassionate care, nutritious meals, and a nurturing environment to heal before returning home — ensuring that distance and poverty don’t stand in the way of recovery.

leading the fight against HIV in Nepal

Founded in 2006 to support children living with HIV/AIDS, the NLC has saved hundreds of young lives and helped reduce both HIV transmission and stigma in Nepal.

Through dedicated care and education, the Center has empowered families to manage their health with dignity and hope for the future.

expanding care for all in need

As HIV-related needs in Nepal have declined, the NLC has evolved to serve a broader community of children facing serious medical challenges.

Today, it continues to offer the same compassion and expert care, now reaching more families in crisis and giving every child the chance for a new life.

healthcare for Nepal’s most vulnerable

The New Life Center ensures that children from Nepal’s most remote villages can access the healthcare they deserve. With most specialized hospitals located in Kathmandu, many families face long, costly journeys for treatment — often beyond their means. At the Center, children and their caregivers stay for about two weeks, receiving compassionate, individualized care completely free of charge. Our team provides medical monitoring, nutritious meals, emergency support, psychological counselling, and guidance to help families follow doctors’ instructions at home. This nurturing environment allows children to recover fully and return to their communities stronger and healthier.

how we make a difference

turning  fragile lives into ones filled with hope

Priya's story

When 30-month-old Priya arrived in Kathmandu with her mother, Rani, she urgently needed surgery to repair her cleft palate.

But she was too underweight for the procedure, and Rani—who had spent her last savings travelling from their remote Dalit community—had no way to return home and try again.

At our New Life Center, they received compassionate, personalised nutritional care, medical monitoring, and the encouragement Rani desperately needed.

Free from discrimination and financial strain, Priya finally began to gain strength, bringing lifesaving surgery within reach.

Your generosity makes recoveries like hers possible.

Bishnu's Recovery

When 10-month-old Bishnu* arrived at the New Life Center, he had already suffered deeply.

His mother had recently died from AIDS, and he too was diagnosed with the virus. Severely undernourished and battling multiple infections, Bishnu was dangerously weak and in urgent need of care.

The New Life Center provided immediate medical treatment, nutritious meals, and constant support.

Over 45 days, his infections healed, his weight returned to normal, and his strength slowly rebuilt.

Bishnu has left the Center healthier, stabilised, and far better equipped to face life with HIV.
