Nepal: Transit clinic for street children

With a Transit clinic on a fixed location near several scrap collection places, open 24/7, the accessibility to health services for street children increases tremendously. CWCN provides first aid health care in the clinic and sick children can stay in the transit sick room. During the day there is a nurse and a social worker. A medical doctor visits the clinic during two hours a day. Serious cases are forwarded to hospital. An audio-visual room allows for health education of the street children on sanitation, STDs and HIV/AIDS and life skills training by peer educators.

The street children in Kathmandu live under difficult circumstances and are economically not able to support a healthy life on their own. They lack awareness of hygiene, they are careless with simple diseases that develop into incurable diseases, they often get injuries that they do not treat well. The transit clinic (and mobile health service) that Child Watabarn Center Nepal (CWCN) operates,  reach these street children with first aid health care, primary health treatment, counselling and health education.

The donations are used to cover the running costs of the clinic: rent, staff, medicins, bandages etc.

Child Watabaran Center Nepal (CWCN)

Child Watabaran Center, Nepal (CWC, Nepal) is a non-governmental organisation established in 2002 primarily to work with the street children of Kathmandu providing them center-based education and vocational training. This is the story of Tirtha Raj Rasaili, the founder of a children’s home in Nepal, and, but far most the story of the street children of Nepal. When you look at him, he is just an ordinary person. But if you hear what he has established, you know he is not an ordinary person. Tirtha Raj Rasali was a radio reporter in Nepal when he saw the awful conditions of the street children in Nepal. He was convinced that there was a way of helping the street children turn their life into a positive direction. He discussed his idea with friends and in 2002 he put his and his friends ideas into practice by offering street children a home, family support and education. The CWCN was born.
