Maiti Nepal’s Rehabilitation Home in Kathmandu serves as a safe haven for over 400 women and children, providing them with the care, support, and opportunities they need to rebuild their lives. This center welcomes a diverse group of individuals, including trafficking survivors, victims of domestic violence and rape, abandoned children, and those intercepted at borders.
Our comprehensive rehabilitation services include safe shelter, formal and non-formal education, vocational and life skills training, medical support, psychological counseling, and legal assistance. We also encourage survivors to pursue entrepreneurial ventures and offer employment opportunities within our programs, fostering long-term self-reliance and economic stability.
The Rehabilitation Home is more than just a shelter—it is a place of healing and transformation, ensuring that survivors receive the emotional, physical, and educational support needed to move forward. Whether it’s through counseling, therapy, or skill development, we empower individuals to regain control of their lives and reintegrate into society with dignity and confidence.
