The Plight of Nepali Children: A Call to Action

More than a third of Nepali children live below the poverty line with 50% suffering from malnutrition. A staggering 10% do not attend school at all, and over 50% defecate in open spaces. Nearly 70% lack basic human needs like shelter and water. Rural children face even greater challenges - with child poverty 3 times higher, 41% underweight, and 50% stunted. Let's move beyond statistics, ponder our role in shaping the future, and be the change that uplifts the lives of these vulnerable children.
