FOUNDER'S BIOGRAPHY
Arjun D., a compassionate leader and visionary, is the founder of the Gentle Heart Foundation, established in 2002. His journey is a powerful testament to resilience, faith, and the transformative power of hope. Born into a family marked by adversity, he faced immense challenges early in life. After the tragic loss of his mother, he, as the eldest, assumed the responsibility of caring for his two younger sisters.
Despite these hardships, his unwavering determination and faith propelled him forward. With the support of a compassionate Christian ‘Didi’ (Sister) from his village, he and his sisters found refuge in an orphanage in Kathmandu in 1990. Motivated by a deep calling to serve orphaned children, at-risk women, and vulnerable communities, he transformed his personal experiences into a mission to bring hope and positive change. In October 2002, he founded the Gentle Heart Foundation (GHF), relying solely on faith and divine provision. Today, GHF continues to impact countless lives, embodying its commitment to care, compassion, and empowerment.
Founder’s story is not just one of overcoming adversity, but of creating lasting change. By partnering with GHF, supporters have the opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of Nepal’s most vulnerable children, women, and communities, enabling them to experience hope, love, and the transformative power of faith.
Motto of GHF remains: “A Heart for the People of Nepal – Repairer of Broken Hearts.” This statement encapsulates our commitment to restoring hope and dignity to those marginalized or broken by life’s circumstances. Through love and care in action, we believe Nepal’s collective resilience can thrive. As Founder often says, “Service should originate from the heart and be implemented through hands.” Recognizing the urgency of rebuilding Nepal amidst both national and international challenges, the Gentle Heart Foundation is dedicated to contributing actively to the country’s socio-economic transformation. As GHF continue this journey, the team invite you to stand with GHF in bringing healing and hope to orphaned children, sexually exploited or at-risk women, and vulnerable communities.
