Due to the pandemic and the collapse of the economy, Nepal is facing a humanitarian disaster of an unprecedented scale! 40% of Nepal's population, approximately 12 million people, is poor. Most of these people live in villages in higher altitudes between 500m and 1500m. For many children, the combination of malnourishment and a lack of adequate protection from the freezing cold will have fatal consequences. The project aims to provide Sleeping bags to this target group.

Women in traditional Hindu culture marry in to their husbands' families and live in their husbands' multigenerational homes. This set up provides security as long as a woman stays within it. But if a husband is dying young, the wife will be blamed for the untimely demise of her husband and she will remain stigmatized for the rest of her life. If she was "unfortunate" and gave birth to daughters only and a male inheritor is absent her husband's family might refuse to care for them.

Our main objective is the 'Prevention' of the worst forms of abuse, exploitation and discrimination of girls and young women. The EduCare Project is an innovative, unique, pragmatic and efficient new approach to support the helpless, hopeless and the most vulnerable. 'EduCare' stands for Education, Healthcare, Food, Clothing, Hygiene, Counseling and Protection. We are focusing on families that are headed by single mothers/grandmothers with dependant daughters.
