Province 2 in Nepal where we work to assist street children is a really poor region anyway and coronavirus just added massively to it. The government has provided some sort of shelter to some of the children and adults at their quarantine places - but these places lack hygiene, nutritious food or any basic facilities and people mix with each other, so not a proper quarantine, just the opposite.
Borders between many districts have been closed so we haven't been able to cover the cases from all districts apart from the 3 near to our child helpline. The lockdown is being eased now but the number of corona cases is going up in the region so we just need to wait and see. We are in constant communication with the local governments in other districts in case they need our support.
In the past 3 months we have been focusing on taking good care of our children at the children's home and child helpline/day care centre, supporting worst affected families and providing food, and basic necessities to children kept at the quarantine centres. We have had a few new referrals from the police to assist some children on the streets and we are doing what we can. Most importantly, all the children in our care are healthy and very happy with millions of activities and having the longest school holiday ever!
