Childreach International supports three inspiring project partners in Nepal; Dhulikhel Hospital, Yangrima School and Antardristi.

• Poverty, geography and weak infrastructure means healthcare for rural communities is limited if not impossible and with an urban population of only 12%, this problem is of paramount importance. Through our partnership with Dhulikhel Hospital, rural school health education, mother and child health camps and research activities are carried out, benefitting almost 2500 mothers and children to date. A paediatric training centre for outreach workers has also been established,
• Rural communities also struggle to receive education. Childreach International has helped Yangrima School, in the rural village of Shermathang; reopen after closing during the civil war. After only four months 77 children are enrolled and attending the school.
• Nepal also struggles with an ingrained social stigma surrounding sexual abuse and such incidents are often ignored or concealed and support is often expensive and scarce. Supported by Childreach International, Antardristi is combating this by running care homes for sexually abused children, providing counselling for victims and their families and by raising awareness and educating the local community. We have supported 32 children and their families since September 2008.
