Day-care center

In Kathmandu, many poor children, not owning the means to attend school, spend their days on the streets exposed to all sorts of risks (delinquency, addiction to toxic substances, exploitation and abuse). Under these conditions, and without access to education, they can hardly create a better future for themselves. They are largely children of destitute families who migrated to the capital in search of fortune from their home districts, often children of single-parent families or entrusted to a relative too poor to really take care of them.

Kam For Sud’s day care center accommodates about fifty of these children, who are enrolled in school. At the center they receive a full meal in the morning and a snack in the afternoon, assistance in doing schoolwork, basic medical care and accompaniment in play and sports activities.

The staff consists of permanent educational staff and young people in their first jobs as animators and school assistants (some of them grew up at the Kam For Sud orphanage-farm), as well as two cooks.
