Child Sponsorship in Nepal is very much needed. Two-third of Nepal’s children are severely deprived and 40% live in absolute poverty. This is due to a decade long civil war and political instability. Children are deprived of their basic right to education due to poverty, underdevelopment, mass illiteracy and socioeconomic problems. Socioeconomic problems are child labor, girl trafficking, bonded labor and discrimination against female children. Many families lack sufficient resources, both physical and social, making their children more vulnerable to illiteracy and poverty.
Sponsors can communicate with their sponsored children, meet them on an organized trip, and help support their growth and development. We have designed our sponsorship process in three steps to foster the sponsor-child connection, often building long lasting relationships. Sponsor support provides the necessary resources to help a child become an independent adult in Nepal.
