Support a child info
Nepal is home to more orphans than most countries as a result of very high rates of poverty and unemployment. Another influential factor was the very recent Nepali Civil War (1996-2006) in which it is estimated 15,000 people were killed and 150,000 were internally displaced, leaving government social programs in ruins. Education is a difficult task for most families. 50% of the population lives on 1 USD per day and because of this, many children begin life in the workforce at a very young age and often in very undesirable working conditions. The government is unable to provide any type of welfare for disadvantaged families which has resulted in high rates of child abandonment in poor communities where the parents can barely provide for themselves. Other factors effecting Nepal’s high number of orphans include domestic violence and social discrimination. HFN partners with a number of other orphanages, expanding their social support network for these abandoned children, and helping as many as possible.
