Every year hundreds of children in rural villages of Nepal are discarded by their own families due to domestic conflicts, suicides or, poor income. These children are forcefully involved in some type of child labor ranging from agricultural works, industrial and domestic labor to commercial sexual exploitation. The present condition of child labor in Nepal is very bad. As per ILO ‘Though Child labor is declining at the rate of 100,000 every year, Nepal still accounts for 1.6 million children between 5-17 years being involved in child labor. Of these 621,000 are estimated to be engaged in hazardous work. Estimates suggest that 60% of children in hazardous workplace are girls (373,000).’ Over 1 million children are estimated to have been affected by the earthquakes in Nepal on 25th April and 12th May 2015. Mission Himalaya’s primary focus is in making positive impact on the lives of these children who are living miserably as being deprived of proper care; food, accommodation, clothing, education and even basic healthcare. We believe that every child is special and deserves to live with love, care and protection. We have hence made it our main mission to reach out to people, old and young, women, men and children, in rural areas of the country identifying local needs and help support them with basic healthcare, education, and economic sustenance. We have taken a pledge to help the rural communities of Nepal with aim to provide free healthcare and education facilities to those living in deplorable conditions in rural Nepal.
We are always prepared to serve rural, marginalized and back-warded communities deprived of basic needs and facilities, to protect the rights of children without parents who are highly vulnerable and to bring positive changes in the society through education and awareness. Our primary mission is to work for the society and people in need.
