Thank You For Your Donation

Thank you for your donation which will enable us to rescue and keep safe even more children in Nepal

We help vulnerable children in Nepal, who are either in slavery or at risk of being trafficked into slavery. Below you can read some of our previous stories outlining how donations like yours are helping children across Nepal.

We track and maintain relationships with every child we have rescued.

Before a child can return home, we undertake rigorous checks to ensure that they are safe and won’t be re-trafficked. We continue to monitor their progress by phone, via their school and through unannounced visits.

You can read more of their stories below.

Who We Help

Children being rescued in Nepal

We help vulnerable children in Nepal, who are either being exploited or at risk of being trafficked.

There are still thousands of children in the factories, restaurants and brothels of Nepal, and we won’t stop until every one of them is free. Read some of our rescue stories below.

Deepak is saved

Deepak’s Story

Deepak’s home was flattened by the earthquake in April 2015. In desperation, he travelled to Kathmandu to find work to support his family. The little boy from a rural village was easy prey for the traffickers.

Read More

Several months later, our staff discovered Deepak in a metalwork factory. Forced to work with dangerous gases and chemicals, the wounds on his raw hands told of his suffering. There were many other boys in the factory, working 13-hour days and sleeping huddled together on the cold floor each night. Deepak was the worst affected of all. He told us how he had tried to escape on three separate occasions only to be captured, brought back and beaten by the factory owner. As punishment Deepak had to take on extra tasks in addition to his already long working day. He would only be fed if the factory owner said he had worked hard enough. When he became sick and couldn’t work, he wasn’t fed.

We took Deepak and the other boys to a safe house where they were provided with food, clothes, medical attention and counselling. Deepak is now healthy, happy and eager to complete his education with our support. We have taken Deepak to visit his family and hope to permanently reunite them once they are able to provide for him. In the meantime we will continue to care for and support Deepak so that he can learn what it is a to be a child again, and start back at school.

Mantri is saved

Mantri’s Story

Three years ago, Mantri left home with his friends to find a job in Kathmandu. When he got there, he started working in a carpet factory, where he stayed for two and a half years before asking the owner for his salary. Infuriated, the factory owner started beating Mantri.

Read More

Mantri managed to escape and found another job, this time in a restaurant. After the first two months working long hours he realised he was being taken advantage of and asked the owner for his pay cheque. The question got him and his colleagues brutally assaulted.

We were called by the police to help Mantri. After tracking his parents, our staff found out his mother was psychologically unable to care for him and his father spent most of his income on alcohol. Mantri has been living in one of our safe homes, where he can get the support, attention and help he needs to succeed.

Manoj’s Story

Manoj was 12 years old when he was found working in a metal factory where he had been trafficked by an uncle. Coming from a large family, Manoj’s parents struggled to support their children on a very low income.

Read More

Against his parents’ wishes, he quit school and was taken to Kathmandu by an uncle who promised him work.

Manoj worked in the metal factory from 6am to 6pm every day, engraving designs on copper plates with a hammer and using chemicals to burnish them. The chemicals burnt his skin and the wounds were not properly treated. For all this work he was only given a few rupees.

Manoj and the other boys were rescued by local police, social workers and our team in Nepal and  cared for in our safe house, given counselling and medical checks, and was eventually reunited with his family. 

Kusum’s Story

Kusum was just 12 years old when her mother went to work in the Middle East. As her father was an alcoholic and unable to care for her, Kusum went to live with her maternal aunt.

Read More

At first everything was fine, but then the aunt opened a snack shop and Kusum was forced to drop out of school to help out. Initially this meant cleaning and washing up, but soon her aunt started arranging for customers to sexually abuse Kusum for extra income.

A neighbour found out what was happening and contacted our partner Shakti Samuha, who were able to rescue Kusum and bring her to safety. Kusum was initially very withdrawn, but is starting to open up. As there is nowhere safe for her to go, she is staying at Marigold House for now. We are in touch with her mother and hope that eventually Kusum will be able to live with her again in the future.

    Success Stories

    Here are some more success stories of children we’ve helped

    Asmita’s Story

    Struggling to financially support their large family, Asmita’s parents tried to marry her off at just 14 as they couldn’t afford to send her to school any longer. Supporting nine children on a low wage, Asmita’s family were struggling to make ends meet.

    Read More

    Her older siblings had already been forced to leave school and go out to work as there was no money to continue sending them to school. In an attempt to lighten the burden, Asmita’s parents tried to marry her off. She was only 14-years-old.

    Luckily, one of Asmita’s neighbours was a school teacher and came to hear of Asmita’s plight. She referred Asmita to us and we were able to provide her with an educational bursary so that she was able to continue her education and not be stripped of her childhood.

    Bibek’s Story

    Bullied and tormented by his peers for his stammer, Bibek quickly stopped attending school at only 12 years old. Despite his parents encouragement, Bibek stopped attending school after his friends and teachers laughed at him for his speech problems.

    Read More

    When his father in law found offered to take him to Kathmandu to enrol in a new school, it seemed like the fresh start he’d been dreaming of. Unfortunately, this was not the reality.

    Bibek found himself working 12 hour days in a metal factory for no pay. Every day he used concentrated acids to polish metal statues, with his bare hands. He had no way of contacting his parents to tell them of his suffering. Thankfully, authorities were made aware of the factory’s activities and a team of local police, social workers and members of Child Rescue Nepal launched a rescue. Bibek was able to be reunited with his family shortly after.

    Chirring’s Story

    Called names and kicked by the other children in the village, school was not a welcoming place for Chirring. When traffickers offered to send him to a new school in Kathmandu, he was excited to see the big city and make a good name for his family. The reality was not quite the same.

    Read More

    Chirring was immediately dropped at a restaurant where he was forced to work from 5am to 8pm every day. During his fifteen-hour day, he washed up, cleaned and cooked with no break. He never received a single rupee. Unable to contact his family, he was alone, trapped and terrified in a city where he knew no one and had nowhere to go. He was only 10 years old. 

    Fortunately, our team spotted Chirring whilst carrying out another rescue and were able to go back and get him. He is now receiving tutoring in our safe home and his family have been traced.
