Highlights

Nepal Child Conservation Home (NCCH) is a non-profit, non-governmental home for orphaned Nepali children. It was started with the goal of promoting children's rights through welfare activities for children. NCCH currently houses 24 children and provides food, shelter, a family environment, and assists with adoption.

NCCH is dedicated to providing children in Nepal a safe and comfortable environment to live in. The goal of the organization is to provide the youth with nutritious meals, education and skills that will enable them participate in the work force when they are adults.

NCCH is an important organization as they are trying to improve the quality of life for street children in Nepal. Each year, over 50,0000 children die in Nepal and of those death over 60% die from malnutrition. As a result, organizations like NCCH are trying to address this social issue by creating an atmosphere for the children in their center that will hopefully promote prosperity.

In addition, over 35% of children living in Nepal are involved in some sort of child labor and various sources believe that this statistic is drastically lower than the reality of the situation. As a result, many children in Nepal do not have access to education and therefore are limited as to opportunities.

NCCH is understaffed and therefore taking care of the children is a challenge. Volunteers are needed to assist the current staff and help make the work load more manageable. NCCH needs volunteers to interact with the children for socialization, as well as skill development, teach the English language development and create fun educational games for the youth.

Limited staff makes taking care of the children of NCCH a challenge. Volunteers are needed to assist the current staff and help make the work load more manageable. NCCH needs volunteers to interact with the children for socialization, as well as skill development, and english language development. NCCH is particularly focused on providing recreational opportunities for the children, in addition to fulfilling basic needs such as food and shelter.
