J1102 CHFN-BSF Family Intervention Projects Nepal
Nepal, Indian Subcontinent
In partnership with Compassionate Hands for Nepal and Building Stronger Families
The Situation
An estimated 8 million children are living in orphanages and residential care around the world. About 80% of these children have living parents. Building Strong Families (BSF) aims to prevent the relinquishment of children to orphanages in Asia by loving and often well-meaning parents who are facing poverty or financial hardship.
Through strategic partnerships, this project provides holistic strengthening opportunities for at-risk families caring for orphaned and vulnerable children so more children can remain in a strong, loving and sustainable family. Holistic strengthening opportunities include: income generation assistance & livelihood support, parent/caregiver training, health and nutrition support, education assistance, family fun day outings, counselling, home visitations, building awareness of existing support services, and ongoing monitoring and follow-up.
Every child deserves a safe, loving and nurturing family in which to thrive and call home. Building Strong Families hopes to give more children this opportunity.
The Objectives
- To contribute to reducing family separation and the relinquishment of children to orphanages in Nepal, by empowering and building stronger sustainable families.
- To see families in Nepal show increased stability, as shown by positive outcomes in 4 key areas: Livelihood, Health, Education and Family Strengthening.
