NCRC appeals for support Bhotekoshi flood-affected children

Kathmandu, Nov 14: The National Child Rights Council has invited charitable organizations and individuals to apply to take part in a protection, care, and support plan for children affected by the Bhotekoshi flood. In a public notice, the council asked applicants to submit their applications through the relevant ward office.

The flood has affected 584 children in Rasuwa and Nuwakot. The plan will cover children under the age of 18.

It will also include children who have not received adequate protection because they or their guardians were injured, as well as children who require special protection under the Children’s Act, 2075 BS. The council said it faces a major challenge in protecting children who lost their parents in the flood or were separated from their families, while also ensuring their education, health care, psychosocial counseling, and long-term rehabilitation.(RSS) The Rising Nepal is Nepal’s first English broadsheet daily published by the Gorkhapatra Corporation, an undertaking of the Government of Nepal.
