Slavery survives on secrecy. The moment we walk into a factory or workshop and walk out with a child, that secrecy is gone – and everyone in the area knows it. Help us rescue forty children this year, and turn forty rescues into forty warnings the next employer won't ignore.

An estimated 1.1 million children in Nepal are trapped in child labour, over 200,000 in its worst, most hazardous forms (ILO/Central Bureau of Statistics). Our own frontline data bears this out: we rescued 33 children in the first half of 2026 alone, aged 12–17, mostly from carpet factories and restaurants. One girl we rescued, aged fourteen, worked fourteen-hour days, her hands cut from the loom, fed twice a day. Poverty, not neglect, drives this. Childhood is a right. Help us change this.

We run undercover surveillance and police-coordinated raids, then care for rescued children in our own safe homes with counselling, medical care and education, before safely reuniting with family. With 25 years' expertise and strong local government and police partnerships, we go further than rescue alone, funding family livelihoods and training communities to spot and prevent exploitation themselves – building the long-term sustainability that keeps children safe once we leave.
