Our Sansar (Nepal)
Our Sansar is a UK-registered charity providing education, shelter, and welfare to the most disadvantaged children in Nepal for whom little or no help is forthcoming.
Our Sansar focuses on Province 2 in Southern Nepal, where there are about 400 homeless children and no other organisations working to assist them. It is the most populous province in Nepal, with more than 10,000 cases a year of violence against girls and women, the highest number of missing children in Nepal, and 50% of children are out of school.
Our Sansar aims to locate children before they are trafficked or cross the border and get involved in illegal activities abroad.
The Eurofins Foundation’s support is directed towards the project “End to Child Labour”, focusing on providing education to children between 6 and 16 years old who have been working in brick factories in Rautahat, Southern Nepal.
There are 162 brick factories in the district, and the overall number of children working in them is estimated to be over 2,500. This project has two phases; firstly, a two-year pilot to assist 90 children and conduct a proper investigation into the rest of the factories, to be able to assist all 2,500 children in phase two.
The overall objective of the project is to stop child labour in Nepal and replicate the project in other parts of the district and ultimately on a national level.
This project contributes to the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
