Forget Me Not Foundation

Forget Me Not works with partner organisations in Nepal, Uganda and India, on the ground with local knowledge and expertise to: Protect & provide for children We aim to give each child the opportunity to be their best. We fund and manage the operation of Shakti Ghar, a transit home for children rescued from exploitative orphanages in Nepal. We fund the Forget Me Not Child Headed Households project in Uganda. We show children that continuing education is a priority through our Forget Me Not Futures program. Keep families together Forget Me Not Families projects build capacity in families to give every opportunity of staying together and help them become self-reliant. Our Nanna Project in Uganda provides education which helps ease the burden on grandmothers raising their orphan grandchildren. We help vulnerable children in the Kalyanpuri Slum in New Delhi through Project HELP: Health, Education, Livelihood, Possibilities.

The process is well structured and there is no pressure for a child to go home before they are ready. LATEST EVENTS ONYABIKE!
