Project in Nepal
Child Welfare Scheme UK
The numbers of street and working children in Nepal is increasing and many are forced to work long hours for little pay, often in dangerous environments. This project supports young people to access shelter, food, health care, education and vocational training at day centres. The project also works to tackle discrimination and exploitation against working children so that the number of children working in harmful conditions will be significantly reduced.

Childhope UK
Children living on the streets in Asia are vulnerable to exploitation, especially girls. Whatever money they earn during the day is often stolen from them by older children or adults. This project runs street banks where thousands of children can save their money and earn interest. The banks are run by the children themselves so they learn about responsibility, how to make decisions as well as gaining confidence. The project also links to educational and recreational services intended to give children new skills which helps to get them off the streets. This project operates in five countries, with a spend of £124,480 in each location.
Amount Awarded: £124480
