Working in some of the most marginalized communities in the world, The Global Fund for Children finds and invests in locally based organizations that provide children with what they need to be safe, healthy, educated, and cared for. Our grassroots partners in Nepal are no exception. Each organization serves children who would otherwise fall through the cracks; in times of nationwide crisis, they are particularly vulnerable.
Asha Nepal
Asha Nepal meets the holistic needs of children and youth who have been trafficked, providing a transitional home, educational scholarships, reintegration workshops, employment support, and foster care programs.
Center for Awareness Promotion
The Center for Awareness Promotion rescues and rehabilitates girls and young women in the adult entertainment industry in Kathmandu, using mobile counseling, a shelter, and reintegration through education and training.
Gentle Heart Foundation
Gentle Heart Foundation provides education programs and psychosocial support to girls aged 2 to 17 from indigenous and minority communities in Kathmandu. Its after-school program offers tutoring and creative activities six days a week and encourages participants to stay in school.
Partnership for Sustainable Development Nepal
Partnership for Sustainable Development Nepal offers sustainable, community-based programs in education, youth development, health and sanitation, and the environment. Its after-school program for children in orphanages provides participants between the ages of 3 and 8 with educational, life-skills-building, and extracurricular activities, including tutoring, sports, arts, and exposure visits.
Prisoners Assistance Nepal
By introducing the concept of community parenting and by working with prisoners and their children, Prisoners Assistance Nepal implements reform, rehabilitation, and welfare programs in Nepal’s prisons. Its daycare center serves children aged 1 to 6 who live with their incarcerated mothers in the district prison in Kathmandu, providing them with a healthy and safe environment during the day while helping them maintain bonds with their family members.
