The House of Love is more than simply a building but a children’s home that provides the much needed water, food, education, medical care, shelter and love for children who have been orphaned and who have no family to care for them. House of Love provides marginalized children with a new and permanent home until they are old enough to face life independently.
In order to generate some income to care for the children, House of Love has set up a welcoming guest house for its guests and interested travelers. The project also equips the children with skills to make handcrafts and souvenirs which they sell to visitors to earn some income. The community already benefits from the establishment as it provides market for agricultural produce from the local community members.
