Water for Children 💧
May 13, 2026, Lalitpur! One of the most effective ways to protect children from human trafficking and abuse is to ensure they are in school. When children regularly attend school, they are not only receiving an education but are also being cared for and protected while their parents are away working. However, for schools to provide a safe and supportive environment, they must have adequate infrastructure and basic facilities.
Unfortunately, many government schools in rural Nepal lack proper infrastructure and resources. Because of these limitations, many families are forced to migrate to cities in search of better opportunities and education for their children. Yet, once they arrive in urban areas, women and children often become vulnerable to trafficking, exploitation, abuse, and many other dangers.
For the past few years, Karuna Care has been serving in Nuwakot with the mission of preventing human trafficking and protecting women and children. Nuwakot is considered one of the districts highly affected by these issues. Currently, Karuna Care partners with two schools and supports more than 250 children by providing daily lunch, school supplies, uniforms, shoes, and necessary school fees. These children are fully sponsored so they can continue their education with dignity and hope.
At the same time, Karuna Care recognizes that strengthening the schools themselves is equally important. One of the major challenges faced by one of the partner schools was the lack of a proper water system. The school principal shared, “Because there is no water in the school, many children do not come regularly.”
Despite repeated requests to local authorities, the school had not received support. Karuna Care realized that the lack of clean water was not only affecting education but also increasing the vulnerability of children.
In response, Karuna Care constructed a 60,000-liter underground water tank and installed a complete water supply system for the school. This project will directly benefit around 100 children and help create a healthier, safer, and more welcoming learning environment. The school administration is hopeful that even more children will enroll and attend regularly in the coming year.
This project is more than providing water. It is about protecting children, strengthening families, empowering communities, and giving hope for a better future.
Karuna Care sincerely thanks everyone who supported this project financially and prayerfully. Your partnership is helping transform lives and protect vulnerable children in Nepal.
There is a need to making school rooms to accommodate more children in the school. Please visit www.karunacare.org to give.
