In Nepal, the civil war and economic malaise have lead to increasing numbers of children being left to their fates. They usually end up on the streets. No healthcare, no schooling. Robbed of their future, they have to fight to survive. The Shree Nepal Matri Griha Primary School programme supports these children. The organisation ensures that children can attend school, and provides social support for their families. They learn to actively contribute to improving their situation.

In Calcutta, over 100,000 children don’t have roofs over their heads. Particularly the girls are at high risk of abuse and violence on a daily basis. The project for the integration of street children provides shelter and education within a private school, side by side with children from the highest social circles. They follow classes together, and learn with and from each other. A new society is formed, cutting through all castes.

The Tirupur region in southern India is known for its garment industry. As a result of this industry, the region also struggles with the problems associated with child labour. An organisation by the name of SAVE runs programmes to eradicate child labour practices and is committed to children's rights by operating educational centres, which are known as bridge schools. 

Former child labourers and street children cannot enter the formal education system without a transitional period in which they are prepared for this. Bridge Schools are the answer. Here, during one academic year, these children can be prepared for the regular educational system and receive counselling, in which they are trained in leadership and youth empowerment. SAVE operates 10 centers at which they serve 300 children between the ages of 8 to 14. The children are provided with a lunch and education materials, and their personal development receives a great deal of attention. Teaching methods are specifically geared to make the learning process enjoyable so that these former street children will not return to their old way of life.

In the poor region of Sadisa in the southwestern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo malnutrition occurs very often. In order to combat malnutrition and other illnesses, often caused by improper nutrition, a team of nurses founded the Nutritionnel Sadisa Bakweno Centre in March 2006. Besides reducing malnutrition, its aim is to provide timely treatment, offer information and assist the disabled, widows, and orphans.
