Pushpa Basnet’s House of Butterflies

Pushpa Basnet’s House of Butterflies documentary by Maryam Violet profiles the work of the Early Child Development Center (ECDC), an NGO in Nepal that provides shelter and education to local children who live with their incarcerated parents in prison. In many ways, ECDC is a model institution for providing services to children living in such uniquely dire circumstances and indeed the center has gained worldwide recognition for its work.
ECDC was founded by Pushpa Basnet (“Mamu”), who was inspired to create the organization after visiting a prison as a social work student in 2005. By 2012, Pushpa and ECDC were providing shelter for fifty-five children with plans to expand the capacity to eighty. In addition to providing housing, Pushpa organized training and provided materials for the children’s mothers to make handcrafts to sell and help them become financially independent.
Around the time of filming in 2013, Pushpa was given the CNN Hero of 2013 award for her work at ECDC. She dedicated the award to all of the children living in the prisons of Nepal.
