VOL: Me, us and our Maiti Nepal

This summer we 5 went to Maiti Nepal and here's a video based on that.




Since 1993, Maiti Nepal has been helping Nepali girls and women to regain their dignity and self-respect. They are girls and women who have suffered social injustices and threats: child and women trafficking, domestic violence, child prostitution, and child labor.


Maiti Nepal has:
Rehabilitated girl victims of trafficking by providing them with an education, counseling and a safe home.
Encouraged women to be financially secure by teaching them income generating skills.
Created awareness among the people and policy makers about girl trafficking, child prostitution, and child labor.
Established Prevention Homes giving non-formal education and income generating skills to women and girls vulnerable to trafficking.
Established five Transit Homes in border areas to prevent girls from being trafficked. Former trafficked victims are counseled, trained and placed at the border to identify pimps and, with the assistance of local authorities, prevent potential victims from being taken across.
Initiated and coordinated cross border interactions between government officials, social workers, and NGOs to prevent girl and woman trafficking.
All this has been possible through the genuine concern and sincere support of friends and organizations from all over the world. Maiti Nepal is committed to carry on this crusade for many years to come. Maiti Nepal looks forward to your continued support for many years of positive intervention against inhuman social crime

Looking ahead, Maiti Nepal wants to strengthen its institutional infrastructure by enhancing the capabilities of its human resources. Being institutionally strong means more efficient, effective and far-reaching services to the grass-roots people. Maiti Nepal wants to develop a strong human resource base in the villages and target areas where girls and women are vulnerable and at high risk of being trafficked.
