Projects
The long-term childcare home, the first project of Shangrila Home VZW, was established in 1995 by Inge Bracke and Paul Jacobs. It started off as a home for 11 street children.
Currently there are over 80 beneficiaries in this project and there have been several moves to bigger premises over the years.

YRP - Youth Rehabilitation Program
The YRP (Youth Rehabilitation Program) is a transit home which offers a second chance to adolescents living on the streets through temporary shelter, informal education, occupational therapy, skill-trainings and job-placement.
The program has been initiated in August 2004 by Wim De Becker and Dinesh Bhandari. The maximum capacity of the project is 28 beneficiaries at a time, all between 15 and 20 years old, and guided by 4 care givers / social workers.

In Nepal there are many underprivileged children who do have either one or two parents who are loving and caring, and for whom it is safe to live within their family environment. But sending those children to school can be a major challenge for the parents.
That’s why we started up our external school sponsoring program.
