Protect & Inspire Street Connected Children, Nepal

Kidasha celebtrated it's Silver Jubilee in 2022 and as a result we have been reflecting on the enormous change we have made over the last 25 years to the lives of thousands of the poorest children and families in Nepal.

Since registering with the Charity Commission in 1997 (originally as Child Welfare Scheme) just a few of the things we have achieved are:-

• Establishing exemplar urban primary health centres and integrated them into government service provision.
• Supporting the establishment of quality Early Child Development provision in more than 75 rural communities.
• Helping to reduce child labour in Pokhara by over 70%.
• Reintegrating thousands of street-connected children, child labourers and victims of abuse.
• Enabling over 10,000 of the poorest children to go to school or access informal education classes.
• Providing vocational training, employment and/or business start-up support to over 1000 young people
• Supporting thousands of children and families in the aftermath of the 2015 earthquake and throughout the COVID pandemic.

None of this would have been possible without the commitment and expertise of the Kidasha team and our local partners, and of course the incredible generosity of our supporters, like you.  Sadly there is a still a lot more work to be done, so if you can donate again, we would be extremely grateful.

Thank you from all of the Kidasha Team
