Welcome To Hoste Hainse
Mrs. Sulochana Shah established Hoste Hainse more than a decade ago. She had always- valued Education as the most precious gift for a needy child. Since she was always very much concerned and worried about the children who were deprived of this basic child right she was determined to do as much she could to support children in need for education.
As the owner of a Carpet Factory "Formation Carpets" she started this noble cause by supporting five children for their education and schooling. These five children belonged to the weavers who worked in Formation Carpets. Eventually as her carpet industry grew, the number of workers also grew which ultimately led to the huge growth in the number of children she sponsored. Currently more than hundred children belonging to the weavers of Formation Carpets are being sponsored for education. Three more replica carpet companies have followed her in the same.
Mrs. Sulochana Shah, the President of Hoste Hainse is the recipient of the 1997 Human Rights Award from Minnesota Advocates For Human Rights (MAHR) for her significant contribution in protecting the deprived children from child labor, commonly prevalent in carpet factories in past years. She is one of the founders of Nepal Rug Mark Foundation, which promotes and protects children from child labor, assuring them fundamental freedoms. At present she is the General Secretary of Rugmark International.
Her mission towards the elimination of child labor through education has led her to support more than one thousand children belonging to different parts of Nepal apart from her carpet weaver’s children. She had been putting aside a decent sum of money from her earnings to support this cause.
Since the number of children had been growing day by day, a need for outside donors was felt.
Hence whenever she went for her business tours abroad she shared with her fellow partners, friends and acquaintances about what she had been doing for the cause of educating the underprivileged children of Nepal. Hoste Hainse has been receiving some support from other donors too.
Hoste Hainse feels proud to announce that at present it is providing educational support to 1500 needy children. It has been playing a major role in helping children realize that education is not a privilege but a right of every child.
Education means Empowerment, Opportunity and Development. Hoste Hainse, in its mission to educate the deprived children, has been approaching different individual Nepali/Foreigner donors, donor organizations/agencies, and business houses/companies. Hoste Hainse believes in "elimination of child labor through education."
Hoste Hainse is involving the local group of people, club, organizations etc. for implementation of the project in grass root level. It is constantly searching for sponsors/foster parents who would sponsor needy children. Hoste Hainse has been involved in the following projects for betterment of the rural society:
- To develop various project proposals that will benefit the backward communities
- To mobilize various resources (financial, human, material etc.) for the execution of its programs/projects/activities)
- To assist the underdeveloped communities for their betterment through creative and service oriented programs
- To create awareness amongst the backward communities about the importance of education, health, sanitation and environmental degradation.
- To introduce income generating programs in rural areas.
