Pushpa Basnet brought those innocent children out from the prison and with help from friends and family, she started a care center called Early Childhood Development Centre, a home for those unfortunate children where she sheltered, nourished, and educated them with all her heart. "It's not just about you living, you have to try making your world a better place. If I give them good education and everything, tomorrow there will be less crime. They won't be facing the same thing that their parents are facing. These children have opportunities because they are educated.", says Pushpa.
