Niraj Phuyal, Founder

My son was born on the twenty-eighth of March, 2023. We named him Ayan — Gift from God.

From the pregnancy until today, my wife and I have given all our time to his growth and to his care. People asked what project I was working on. The honest answer was that my project was him. Every hour of it.

Somewhere in those hours I understood something simple. What I was giving one child is what every child is owed. Not a special gift, not luck — a duty. And most children in this world are not receiving it.

Look at the world as it stands. War, and war, and war again. Infants and children suffer before anyone else does, and they suffer without any part in the argument. If all the people die, the earth will be vanished, and everything will be nothing. So I ask a plain question: what should our role be toward these children? How do we bring love toward them?

I do not believe humanity is saved by treaties alone. It is saved in the first thousand days of a life, in a room, by two parents who know their duties.

So I am teaching my son from the beginning — duty, compassion, courage — so that in adulthood he will be capable and ready for his own work. And I am writing down how it is being done, so that any family can do it, whether they have money or not.

Ayan Reach Foundation exists for every infant and every child. For children born to women in prostitution. For children of divorced and abandoned women. For children of any woman the community looks at with a devil’s eye. The circumstances of a birth belong to adults. The child is God. That is why our first duty, our first motive, our mission and our vision are one sentence: protect the child.

This is not for me. It is for humanity, and for the world. I invite you to read our charter, take the covenant into your own home, and teach it to one more family.

With respect,
Niraj Phuyal
