Give children the safety, education, and opportunities they deserve.
Street Children’s Programme
Our home for street children is located in Parwanipur, a small village near the busy border city of Birgunj.
We regularly have around 20 happy boys who live there and enjoy going to a good school, eating delicious food and being in a loving homely environment.
These boys also get various other extra curricular classes such as computer, guitar, dance and cricket, every week.
As part of the Street Children’s Programme, we grow our own organic vegetables, keep chickens for eggs and provide older boys with work experience placements to make sure that the project is sustainable.
Child Helpline and Day Care Centre
In July 2018 we opened a Day Care Centre in Birgunj city, and in July 2019 we moved to a larger building and launched the first ever Child Helpline in the area. The Child Helpline covers all 8 districts of Province 2 and is run in cooperation with local authorities to assist street children, child labourers and trafficked children.
We are also working in the slum areas where hardly any children attend school – we are focusing on getting the children for daytime lessons and activities with the aim of enrolling them into a regular school once they are used to the routine and have basic numeracy and literacy skills. The project is run in a similar way to our Children’s Home and is a transit point for the children who are then either linked back with their families, or when this is not possible, move to our permanent children’s home.
Focussed on street children in the region of Nepal bordering India, where street children receive very little help from the government and other NGOs.
