Nepal
Nepal is still struggling to recover from the 2015 earthquake disaster. The political instability contributes to socio-economic challenges. As a result, there is a dramatic increase in child migration, human trafficking and exploitation. Community health facilities, water and sanitation systems, schools and the child protection system are largely dysfunctional. Our local teams rehabilitate health facilities and work to improve children’s health. In the brick industry, we work towards a change to protect children in child labour.
What we do
Trackling child labour
Mother and child health
Migration
Child protection in emergency
Key projects
"Today I feel more sure of myself. I want to learn to sew so I can be a seamstress in my village and not have to rely on seasonal work."
Binita, works six month a year in a brick kiln since she is eight or nine years old
