Protect & Inspire Street Connected Children, Nepal

Dear Supporter

Driven from home by family breakdown, violence, drug and alcohol abuse, conflict, natural disaster or simply poverty, many Nepali children end up on the streets, scavenging, begging and selling themselves to survive.  We provide these children with safe shelter, counselling and advice to deal with their trauma and help them to return to school and a more normal childhood.  We also work to improve the situations of families in crisis to prevent children being forced onto the streets.

Over the last year we have continued  to reduce the abuse and exploitation of neglected and vulnerable children and have helped them move out of crisis situations in Pokhara.  Our core child protection services have worked with 3236  at risk children.  We have worked directly in the workplaces and with employers to help improve working conditions for these extremely vulnerable children.  In Pokhara our work over the last five years has helped reduced the number of child labourers under the age of 14 years of age by 73%.

Without your support, we could never have achieved what with have.  However, there is still a tremendous amount of work to be done, so please do give generously so we can reach more vulnerable children.

Thank you.
