The organization’s most important goal is to offer medical aid to the Nepalese street children. Youths who have to learn to take care of themselves and each other. They need to know what hygiene is. That they shouldn’t bandage wounds with plastic or a dirty cloth, and that bleeding shouldn’t try to be stopped with mud. The Watabaran Mobile Health Service wants to prevent epidemics, and keep the children safe from diseases such as scabies, diphtheria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. In order to achieve these goals, the Watabaran Mobile Health Service seeks out the children, and organizes health camps four times a year. Their hope is that contact with the health workers will open a path towards reintegration into society.
Funds are needed to make the weekly visits: running of the multipurpose van, personnel costs, basic medicine and for the organisation of the health camps (posters, staff, materials, equipment etc.).
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.
