6000 Street Children in Nepal: Give Them a Home

For International Street Children Day on April 12, the boys from Our Sansar’s children’s home will go out into the streets in Birgunj and chat to other street children and youth about their own past lives and the challenges they had to face.

As part of the global 'Identity' campaign, organised by the Consortium for Street Children, our children have decided to hold a 'Reach Out Workshop' and will tell those they approach about the changes they have gone through, what they have managed to achieve and what they want to become in the future. They will also distribute food and clothes.

There are still children living and working on the streets which Our Sansar has not been able to accommodate in its home yet, however, we are working with the local authorities to provide emergency assistance and hopefully will be able to accommodate more and more children in the near future.

As another part of the International Street Children Day, Our Sansar volunteers and staff are organising a 'Sports on the Streets' activity, for our and other street children in the area. These will include a football game, cricket game and relay races. The kids will form combined teams and enjoy the day together.

As part of the joint campaign with the Consortium for Street Children we will be documenting the whole day on social media, with the goal of breaking down stereotypes and raising awareness of the challenges facing street children.

We will surely post updates after the day.

And a massive thank you to all our supporters - thanks to you we can give hope and bright future to those boys that had nothing to look forward before.
