It is estimated that there are more than 100,000 children working in hazardous situations in Nepal. These children are extremely vulnerable and suffer frequent physical and emotional abuse. Sexual abuse is also common. Child Rescue Nepal frees children from slavery and gives them back their childhoods.

We work with local police to raid factories, restaurants and hotels where children are being held captive. Sanjay (not his real name), who is featured in the Appeal, was rescued from a hotel kitchen where he was working 15-hour days in dire conditions. We take children to our safe house where they receive medical attention and counselling. We provide food, clothing, education and a safe home until we can safely reunite them with their families.  

If there is not a safe home for children to return to, and the risk of them being re-trafficked is high, we will support them in our small family-style homes for as long as is needed.

Child Rescue Nepal has already rescued over 850 children but our work is far from over. We want to end child slavery in Nepal and we won’t stop until every child is free. We know where children are being held – we just need the funds to rescue them.
