SCAI helps prevent trafficking and unnecessary separation of vulnerable children from families in Nepal, through empowering them week education, training and livelihood development support. SCAI aims to provide children with a safe, loving, family environment where they have the opportunity to reach their full potential, free from discrimination, violence, abuse, neglect, exploitation and poverty.
We do this through three core strategies:
1) Keeping kids with their families -
Education Scholarship Programs for over 400 children who are at risk of being sold to traffickers, used for labour or simply sent by their families to orphanages or other types of institutions in the hope of a better life and education.
2) Re-integrating children with their families -
We aim to re-connect children who may have been trafficked or willingly sent away by their families to orphanages in Kathmandu with their families and, where possible, re-integrate them and place them under our one of our Education Scholarship Programs.
3) Home care for orphaned or abandoned children -
Where children have been orphaned or abandoned and have no relatives that can care for them, we provide children with a safe, loving, home environment, a good education and a range of facilities and opportunities for their personal development at our home, Sunrise Orphanage
Sustainability
Whilst providing basic care such as food, education, medical care and clothing, SCAI are committed to developing the skills of the staff and children of Sunrise Orphanage to empower them to become employable and self-sufficient in the long term. The construction of “Sunrise Children’s Village” is the next major step towards establishing self-sufficiency and sustainability, and all proceeds from our next major fundraising initiative will go towards this project.
