Protect orphans and abandoned children in Nepal

Dear friends,

Greetings, Namaste.

 It’s our great pleasure to share with you friends the Quarterly progress report of SDO-Nepal for the duration of 27 March, 2023 to 20 July, 2023 as follows:

 Activities:

 We are heartily GRATEFUL to all our donors and GlobalGiving Team for your love, support, guidance and inspiration so that we are able to protect these needy orphaned and abandoned girls since 9 years. Really, it’s our great honor and achievement.

We kindly inform you that, the Nepal government has recently launched “The operation guidelines of orphanage-2023” . According to this new regulations we were unable to fulfill the government requirements to  run the orphanage as we needed at least 3 (three)  times more budget than we have now,  with funding pre-commitment from donors at least for 3 years.  

So, our organization decided  to close orphanage  in coordination/consultation with government organizations ( National Child Rights Council Nepal  and Tokha Municipality ) in a legal ways.

Before it, we did situational analysis of all our children about their family status and possibilities.

• Then, 6  Girls ( Durga class-10, Susmita class-9 ,Srijana class-8, Roshani class-7 Sabita class-5 and Serfule class-6) , who have no home, or families are unable to care their children or are unsecure ,for  those girls , Nepal government took  care the responsibilities  and sent to another orphanage near to us who have enough funding.
•  5 girls (Saraswati class-12, Priya class-9, Karishma class-8, Pemba class-8, Pratikshya class-7 )  whose families/relatives  are able  to reintegrate, or girls may secured , for those girls we sent them with their own families/nearest relatives in presence of government authority. To make their life easy , we SDO  provided them stationery sets  for 1 year, calculator, mobile, school bag, umbrella, mattress , blanket, pillow, bed sheet etc.All our 5 girls who were reintegrated with their families have now opened their personal BANK ACCOUNTS on their home villages and We SDO-Nepal have deposited the 1^st installment amount on their BANK ACCOUNTS which they can invest on fees/stationary/dress so that they can continue their education living with their own families.  All the reintegrated girls are admitted at school on their home village and studying well.
•  As per government rules and regulations, we should support continuously to our reintegrated girls  for 5 years on their  education costs as per our SDO’S capacity. 

SDO also wants to support to other more  disadvantaged and needy children who are forced to drop off school due to the lacking of  fees, stationery and school bags so that they can  continue their school education, if we have more funds.

• Pemba was suffering from Cyst on right finger ,so, the surgery done at Teaching hospital Maharajgunj. Now, she is feeling okay. The report of biopsy and fluid tests also found good along with other diagnostic tests.
• Serfule received 90.80 % with 1st-position on class level-3 at Annual Exam. Similarly, Karishma and Srijana from class-7 received GPA-3.4 and 3.3 respectively. All the girls received good results and are upgraded on upper classes.
• Karishma celebrated her 14^th Birthday with great joys.
• Children celebrated Mother’s Day, Nepali New Year-2080 with fun and picnic.
