WHO WE HELP
Kidasha Nepal is a children’s charity that improves the lives of children living in extreme poverty in one of the poorest countries in the world
STREET CHILDREN
Sandesh is one of thousands of street children, and like 4 out of 5 street children he abused solvents as a way to cope with the hunger, pain, cold, and physical and sexual abuse suffered living on the streets. He is now turning his life around. Find out more...
CHILD LABOURERS
With 1 in 4 people living below the poverty line, it is unsurprising that 1.6 million children have to work. Many of these children, like Anuj and Sarita, are trafficked from villages and tricked into working. See how we got them both back home...
VICTIMS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE
Sexual abuse is extremely common in Nepal, it is estimated that at least 1 in 4 girls have been victims of sexual abuse. Sadly, abuse of this nature is often perpetrated, or ignored, by parents and caregivers, as in the case of Ishama. Read her story here...
CHILDREN LIVING IN URBAN SLUMS
Nepal has over 500,000 children living in extreme poverty in urban areas, where they are particularly vulnerable to violence, abuse and exploitation. For example, children like Chinta, who was being exploited by local youths and about to drop out of school. See how we changed that.

We’d like to send a huge thank you to @bibico_tweets for their contributions to Kidasha from their ‘Fair Friday Sale’. Their donations have allowed us to continue providing support to Nepal’s most vulnerable women and children in a time of crisis. https://t.co/Obc8rlZ2Uj
For children that can’t access online learning, school closures can have serious implications on their education and wellbeing. We need to come together to support those that will be hit the hardest by the new variant.

A tough but powerful read looking at the brutal aftermath of covid in Nepal. Thousands of children are more vulnerable than ever before. We must protect them and provide hope for a better future. Via @jriggers & @acharyapramod

The Omicron variant poses a serious threat to densely populated areas in Nepal. Whilst our teams are working hard to ensure vulnerable children and their families remain supported and protected, hospitals risk becoming overwhelmed by high infection rates.
