At kidasha, we continue to focus on protecting the most vulnerable Nepali children from absue and exploitation and we provide these excluded children with opportunities to help their personal development.
We are currently working with Sanjay (not his real name) at our shelter, who is only 11 years and has already been living on the street for two years. Sanjay's mother left the family, when he was very young and his father remarried. Their village was destroyed by the earthquake and his parents tried to find work with the construction industry in the rebuilding programme. However, they weren't paid for their work and so fell on hard times. They moved onto to work as farm labourers, but again this wasn't well paid. Their relationship was difficult and became violent, and as a result the children suffered and were ignored. It was at this point that Sanjay, aged only 9 years, ran away and started living on the street in Pokhara.
Sanjay has been with us for 4 months and is slowly getting his life together with a regular routine. He is no longer sniffing glue and his attendance at school is becoming much better.
With your generous support, we will hopefully be able to help more children like Sanjay.
Many thanks
