Due to years of political instability, population growth, internal armed conflict, extreme poverty, and the 2015 catastrophic earthquake, the number of street children in Nepal has steadily increased, and in recent years has become a focus for the Government in Kathmandu. Street-connected children in Nepal have a considerably lower average life expectancy than the country’s average - 30 years for females and 40 years for males. In addition to lack of clean water, child trafficking, inadequate access to education, and lack of legal status, street-connected children face stigmatisation and general misunderstanding by society. CSC has multiple projects in Nepal, which seek to address some of these issues and the emerging political will to decrease numbers of street-connected children.
