Mission
The BlinkNow Foundation’s mission is to provide an education and a loving, caring home for orphaned, impoverished and at-risk children. We also provide community outreach to reduce poverty, empower women, improve health, and encourage sustainability and social justice. The Foundation fulfills its mission by providing financial support and management oversight to the Children’s Home and Kopila Valley School in Surkhet, Nepal.
About
The Kopila Valley Children's Home, located in Surkhet, Nepal welcomed 3 new children into care and now has 40 children residing in the home. An additional 14 young adults have 'graduated' from the home and are supported in nearby transitional housing. Of these, ten have moved out of transitional housing and are in our post transition program and three young adults from the home are studying overseas. The children are provided with a safe and loving environment and are cared for as a family. In 2017 an additional hostel was established which is home to 7 at-risk girls who attend Kopila Valley School. This year two children from the home were reintegrated with their families.
