ORPHAN CRISIS IN SOUTH ASIA
Despite being a popular destination for mountain climbers around the globe, this part of Southeast Asia hides a grim reality of abandoned children and their hardships. In a society already struggling with extreme poverty, the civil wars have had a crippling effect on the country and orphaned children. Many children are forced to work and provide for their families, leaving them without an education or hope of breaking the poverty cycle. Countless more are abandoned and highly vulnerable to other issues, including child marriages, trafficking, and child labor. Most abandoned children struggle to access clean water, medical care, necessities, and schooling. Orphaned and abandoned children rely heavily on homes like Pokhara Children’s Home to provide immediate relief from the dangerous and dire situations
they would otherwise face.
