Supporting Children. Inspiring Joy.
Every child in the nine homes we support deserves to be safe, loved, nourished, educated, and given the opportunity to thrive.
Foundation for Joy supports orphaned and vulnerable children in Nepal by helping sustain the homes, caregivers, education, and daily care they rely on.

Our Work
Foundation for Joy provides financial and relational support to children's homes in Nepal by working with trusted local partners like Choice Humanitarian Nepal, who channel funds and monitor implementation at each home. We do not directly operate the homes.
Meet CHOICE Humanitarian Nepal, our local partner
CHOICE Humanitarian Nepal is our trusted local partner, bringing deep community relationships and dedicated oversight to the children’s homes we support. As our implementation partner on the ground, their team helps translate your generosity into daily care by coordinating with home leaders, monitoring the use of donor funds, and supporting compliance with Nepal’s government requirements. Their thoughtful stewardship helps ensure resources are used responsibly and every child is cared for in a safe, loving environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive.
Why Children's Homes in Nepal
Every child in the homes we support has a safe place to grow up, raised by dedicated caretakers like Binita, Ishwari, Raj, and Rosita, with nourishing food, schooling, and love. These homes seek out the most vulnerable children, in a country where Nepal's National Human Rights Commission estimates 1.7 million people are at risk of trafficking.
Join your heart with ours and help nurture these beautiful young lives.
Help meet the most urgent needs of the homes
In addition to daily operating support, the homes we support have important one-time needs that can strengthen children's education, safety, and future opportunities.
Computer Labs + Digital Learning
Help children gain access to technology, computer skills, and digital learning tools that support their education and future independence.
Education + School Support
Provide tuition, uniforms, books, supplies, exam fees, tutoring, and other resources that help children stay in school and continue learning.
Home Repairs + Essential Infrastructure
Support safe, functional living environments through needed repairs, utility improvements, furnishings, and other home-based needs.

From Ancient Secrets Foundation to Foundation for Joy
Foundation for Joy, formerly Ancient Secrets Foundation, was created from a deep commitment to love in action.
What began as a heartfelt response to the needs of children in Nepal has grown into an ongoing effort to support the homes and caregivers who provide children with safety, belonging, education, and care.
As we step forward under our new name, Foundation for Joy, we are strengthening our governance, deepening our partnerships, and expanding our community of support, all while staying rooted in the same purpose: honoring children and inspiring joy.
