Description of NCWA


Some Children voice was set up 2002 as a response to the needs of street children living in NCWA. NCWA believes that the potential of every child is limited only by the education, love and opportunities we can give them. Also by delaying entry into the labor force and acquiring schooling, children would be likely to become more productive, earn more, be better able to control their lives and become healthier.

NCWA's mission is "to reach out to vulnerable and neglected street children and, through education, enable them become whole human beings and self-reliant, responsible, contributing citizens."

We believe in empowering street children with the gift of education that seeks to emulate Mahatma Gandhi's vision of "drawing out the best in the child - body, mind and spirit." Jesus Said "When the disciples of Jesus rebuked children when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, Let the little children come to me and do not forbid them, for such is the Kingdom of God" " Mark 10:13-14."

 

Change of the Orphan's Life

Sunita, Ranjita and Anu when they came to NCWA.

As they are now.

 

NCWA reaches out to street children (ages3-14), currently at Bus Stations. The children learn the reading, writing and arithmetic and also positive values of love, friendship and honesty through songs, games, stories and play-acting. In addition, they learn life skills such as responsibility, regularity, hard work, perseverance and a sense of duty and service. Vocational, income-generating skills taught include screen-printing, tailoring, and making stationary, computer literacy and decoration of divas. These children are also taught how to save money in a bank!

So far, many children have participated in various educational programs organized by NCWA. Some children are enrolled in Municipal/Private schools.
It comprises people from various walks of life, who have been directly or indirectly working for the upliftment of the poor and the downtrodden in and around Nepal since the last 3 years.

Given the possibility of a multiplicity of activities it would need to undertake for the purpose, NCWA would initiate and foster the evolution of community-based organizations from among the people. NCWA also support other local level institutions like local NGOs, schools, formal or informal groups of teachers and other skilled people that would come together to join hands with us in the realization of our goals. We shall impart appropriate skills to them to make them effective in handling the processes of developing themselves, their own communities and organizations.

At present, in NCWA, there is an active group of four full time employees and some volunteers, the present Secretary and four other people handling the NCWA.
