Educating Nepal's most vulnerable Children

Thanks to your incredible support, we're transforming the lives of countless children in Nepal. Here is a brief update on what we've achieved. 

Empowering Lives, Shaping Futures

Our work continues to reach thousands of children and families over the year by:

• Delivering  life skills sessions to 1,737 children in Pokhara and Butwal.
• Providing inclusive sports coaching to more than 2,500 students weekly.
• Equipping 657 children with essential educational materials so that they can attend school.
• Running community hubs and vocational training, where we give young people the tools to thrive. The hubs have also hosted 16 parent support groups - all now engaged in regular learning sessions.
• Our Breaking Boundaries cricket programme reaches over 2,000 children who are involved in regular cricket sessions, and the recent annual tournament attracted 600 children (300 boys and 300 girls) representing 20 schools.

 
Child Protection

We continue to make significant strides in child protection and advocacy.

• In Butwal, Child Rights Committees have been established and trained in every ward
• Pokhara has developed one of the country’s first Child Rights Strategies establishing a framework to address the most important issues facing children.
• On the ground, 172 street-connected and working children have been reintegrated with their families.
• Regular workplace monitoring continues both to prevent child labour and to promote safer environments for young people.

Your support is not only shaping lives today - it's shaping brighter futures for generations to come. We are deeply grateful for your support..

The Kidasha Team

We’d like to share with you the remarkable story of Sandip—a testament to resilience, transformation, and the power of long-term support.

Sandip was born into a deeply troubled home consumed by drug abuse, alcoholism, and violence. Neglected and excluded from school, he was forced to fend for himself. By age 13, home was no longer a safe place. He ended up on the streets—begging, sniffing glue to numb his hunger, and caught in the dangers of gang life.

Our outreach workers found Sandip and with our support, he moved into our street shelter, re-enrolled in school, and began to rebuild his life. He was making progress, but tragedy struck again.

His mother, suffering from severe mental illness, took her own life. Shortly after, his father became paralysed following a violent incident at a construction site. Sandip’s world crumbled once more. He dropped out of full-time education to become his father’s sole carer while trying to earn enough to survive.

Through it all, the Kidasha team stood by him.

We helped arrange care for his father, find safe employment, and access early morning classes so he could continue his studies. Most importantly, we supported him in developing the confidence and resilience needed to break free from his past and shape a new future.

Today, Sandip works as a para-social worker—giving back by supporting vulnerable children in his community. He’s proud of how far he’s come. He knows from experience that while food or school fees may offer short-term relief, real, lasting change takes time, trust, and the right support.

For over 20 years, Kidasha has helped transform the lives of children like Sandip. But the need is growing. Too many children are still trapped in crisis, alone and at risk.

With your support, we can reach more of them.

If you can, please consider donating again today. Together, we can build brighter futures.
