Anu with her recently issued citizenship card
Anu (name changed) is 21 years old. She comes from a very poor and disadvantaged family in Western Nepal. She never attended school becuase of family's poor condition and no access to other resources. In 2020, she was trafficked to Kathmandu with the promise of better job and opportunities. (It is normal form people in Nepal to come to Kathmandu for job, education etc). Eventually after 2 days bus drive she arrived Kathmandu without adequately knowing where she is working or any details of job. She ended up in a terrible job of abuse and exploitation.
After police resuce, she was sent to our shelter home, where she received trauma counseling, training, remedial education and other necessities. After series of counseling and assemsent she decided to enroll in a vocational training. We sent her to a 'Domestic Management Training' at a reputed company in Kathmandu. The company committed to place her for a job, but she did not have a citizenship. She was at risk of losing job but our social workers worked hard to get her citizenship. Eventually, we could get her citizenship issued and now she is in final training stage to enroll in the job.
Her mother was desperately waiting to see Anu. She thought Anu won't be back home again.
Thanks to our supporters to help Anu relsease from captivity and live an independent life.

Family Restoration for Akshyata
By Shiva Guwacha | Child Reintegration Officer
Akshyata, 5 years old girl, abandone by parents was rescued by Nepal police. She was sent to Bethany Vision Nepal's tansit home in Kathmandu. During assesment it was found that her mother eloped few years back and the father was in drugs. Akshyata was mostly left alone in room with very minimal support from neighbours. She was not sent to school.
Our social worker worked out with possible family reunification. Eventually her grandfather, who lived 600 KMs away agreed to accept her in the family. She was legally reunified with grandparents and is now admitted into school. She feels safe and her rights are ensured.
In the last quarter, 3 new rescues were referred and 7 family re-unification were made. All the family reunified children are followed up by the social workers.
