2.2 Hamro Sansar (Our World)
On 11 December 2004, JAFON started Hamro Sansar, a home for street boys. A house was rented in Kumbheshwor in order to set up the home. The boys who live here are provided with different opportunities. The program is supported by SHAPLA NEER, which was founded by Japanese citizens, who contributed their savings to the organization. For the last 12 years, SHAPLA NEER has been supporting various community development projects and programs for street children. Due to their support, it has been possible for Hamro Sansar to accommodate 30-40 street children and street youths in Kumbheshwor. Along with accommodation, Hamro Sansar provides various facilities, including health services, television for entertainment, musical instruments, sporting facilities, affordable and healthy canteen, saving facility, non-formal education classes, cleanliness and hygiene arrangement and the operation of an internal junkyard in order to prevent the children from being cheated (as they are cheated by other junkyards). The canteen and junkyard were started with a view to making the organization self-sustained. Hamro Sansar is operating many other programs, including programs to motivate the street children and other programs relating to skill development, driving license, citizenship, legal service and art.

Hamro Sansar occupies two floors with eleven rooms. One of the rooms is allocated for the office. Another room is allocated for entertainment, where the children watch television. Then there is a separate room for non-formal education, where the children are taught. Three rooms are used as bedrooms; two of the bedrooms are for smaller children and the third one is for grown up children. There is a separate room where they keep their belongings. Likewise, separate rooms are allocated for kitchen and dining. There is also a staffroom.

Hamro Sansar provides them with bathing soap. Medical facilities are also provided. The boys generally get ready for breakfast at six in the morning, although some of them oversleep. The working boys leave for work after breakfast. They come back to Hamro Sansar for lunch in the afternoon. They buy food with the money from their own earnings. The Hamro Sansar canteen serves a meal at Rs 25. Most of the boys have now got into the habit of buying food with their own income.
