"Happy Home" is a family home for children managed by COYON with help of Hanuman Onlus, Italy. It was built after several years of planning and fundraising and was officially opened on 8 October, 2012 in the village of Benighat, located about three hours west ofKathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. The home provides a welcoming and comfortable environment for abandoned, orphaned, and homeless children, some of whom are already part of the "Happy Child" distance support project. The facility includes a large kitchen, multiple bedrooms, bathroom facilities with hot water available year-round, a library for after-school activities, a recreational area for leisure, and a space for volunteers. It can accommodate up to 60 children at full capacity. The first group of children were admitted to "Happy Home" in January 2013. Since then the number of children are increasing and now there are 30 children in the Happy Home. The children were excited to experience a level of comfort they were not previously accustomed to.
