SSS in Nepal - SOPHIA’S HOME

Hello, I am Jasmine.

I was brought to Sophia’s Home due to my family’s very poor financial situation. My village is located in a rural part of West Nepal, 415 km from Kathmandu. It is quite isolated and takes five days to get there by bus. It is expensive and dangerous to travel by air due to the hazardous mountainous terrain. There is no Christian church in my village and, like most villagers, my family practised the local religion.

I was blessed to know Christ through Sophia’s Home. When I turned 20, I accepted Jesus into my life and was baptised. Seeing God’s work in my life has made me grow even closer to Him.

Every visit back to my village deepens my love for the Lord as I ponder on my blessings and new life in Christ. To be able to come from such a faraway place to Sophia’s Home was truly a miracle! Thanks to my SSS donors, I have been blessed with a good education, a godly environment, and a family I did not know I needed.

I lived in Sophia’s Home for 14 happy years and it will always hold a special place in my heart. I felt safe and cared for, and cherish many memories. I learnt a lot about life and God from the big sisters and graduates. Now, as a graduate myself, I try my best to teach and assist my younger sisters in Sophia’s Home.

Currently, I am pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Business Studies. I am also working part time as the Finance Executive for the Methodist Church in Nepal (MCN) and Methodist Society Nepal (MSN). Working at MCN and MSN has enabled me to serve God while I continue my studies.

Without the generosity of the SSS donors, my life would have turned out very differently. Thank you!
