Who is Puspa Basnet  ?


A 20 year old girl, Pushpa Basnet , gathered the courage to become a loving and caring mother to the innocent children living in jail with their parents who are serving time for their crimes. 6 years back, Pushpa Basnet, a Bachelor of Social Welfare student, visited the Women’s Cell in Kalimati Police Station, Kathmandu, as part of the her field study. where she met a year old child living with his inmate mother, who had recently been transferred there from another town near Kathmandu. She knew the children should not be punished for their parent’s crime, but later found out that by law, if the children have no family or place to live outside the prison, they were required to live with their mothers in the prison.


Pushpa Basnet brought those innocent children out from the prison and with help from friends and family, she started a care center called Early Childhood Development Centre, a home for those unfortunate children where she sheltered, nourished, and educated them with all her heart. "It's not just about you living, you have to try making your world a better place. If I give them good education and everything, tomorrow there will be less crime. They won't be facing the same thing that their parents are facing. These children have opportunities because they are educated.", says Pushpa.

She kept helping those children and with her hard work and individual financial support Pushpa Basnet became Pushpa Mamu(mother). Her team now takes care of 34 plus children and provides them with food, clothing, education, medicines and all other basic necessities. The children's happy and healthy faces reflect the motherhood that Pushpa and her team have provided to them.
