New Hope Nepal promotes
child protection through the empowerment of families and communities.
Strengthening families and caring for children with support from a team
of local professionals.
In 2014, 228,7000 Nepalese, many of whom were children, were enslaved. 2,600,000
5 to 14 year olds work as laborers and as many as 10,000 girls are trafficked to
India each year.
Families at risk include those with low income, homelessness, and alcoholism as well as children living without parental care. Research and human experience show that families provide the protection children need to be safe and grow into healthy capable adults.
With the devastating earthquake in April 2015, UNICEF estimates 1 million children are in desperate need of care.
Supporting families to care for their children well, and placing those needing out-of-home care in a family setting, can prevent trafficking and abandonment.
New Hope Nepal seeks to protect children by providing services in three basic areas.
1. Families are strengthened by assisting them in meeting basic needs, psycho-social education, better health and nutrition, promoting the education of all children, and developing economic stability.
2. Children who are not able to be cared for in their families are placed in foster care with families who are trained and monitored.
3. Education is provided to the community to allow caregivers and others involved with families to be successful.
Qualified social workers, family support coordinators, livelihood coaches and administrative staff coordinate their efforts to provide support to at-risk families, train and monitor foster families, develop and supervise the child’s plan of care, and educate and sensitize he community in meeting the needs of children.
