A New Life for Kamalari Girls

In Nepal, the Kamalari system of bonded labor sees girls as young as six working as maids in wealthy homes. Often far from home, the girls are isolated and vulnerable to physical violence and sexual abuse.

In 2005, Plan began working with local partners in Nepal and since then has helped rescue and support nearly 2,000 girls in one district alone. The younger girls are helped back to school or given support with their education, while older girls are given vocational training and business start-up support.

This is why it makes me mad in American when someone says "It doesn't matter if I do it, I'm the only one doing it, what difference does it make?" A woman.. A WOMAN... in NEPAL for gods sake stands up for her community and look what she achieved? This woman is my hero. :p

some years ago i used to give aid to plan, getting drawings and some words from a child, i knew the aid was for the villiage, , but i hoped to see that child grow, then one day plan sent me a letter telling me they had to leave... in a hurry, as the rebels were near, to this day i do not know what happend there
