In 3 years, <strong>92 children<\/strong> from 2 to 6 years old were able to be welcomed there. A chance for them to escape the violent world of their mothers' workplace and to be educated in good conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #f5a129;\"><b>What are the strengths of this project?\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the children's schooling, the project also helped the mothers to take care of their children (hygiene, nutrition, etc.).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women victims of violence have benefited from a <strong>psycho-social follow-up<\/strong>. We have accompanied several of them in their professional reconversion, in order to develop <strong>new income-generating activities<\/strong> and thus <strong>escape from exploitation and violence<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, we have<strong> sensitized the municipalities<\/strong> the importance of early childhood care and the need to provide a specific budget for its development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #f5a129;\"><b>What were the obstacles encountered?\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">L'<strong>lack of identity documents<\/strong> and<strong> birth certificate<\/strong> for some recipients, the <strong>lack of means<\/strong> to provide sufficient financial support to the most vulnerable, the <strong>lack of male participation<\/strong> education of their children, and finally the<strong> women's shifting schedules<\/strong> (night work) and their difficulties in getting their children to school in the morning are the main difficulties encountered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #f5a129;\"><b>What lessons can be learned for the future?\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the rest of the program, which will start next August<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> several <strong>recommendations<\/strong> emerging from the team:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide a <strong>legal support<\/strong> to better support women victims of violence in their efforts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, make sure that the preschool is not too far from the beneficiary mothers' workplace (bars, restaurants...) to guarantee the<strong>attendance<\/strong> of children and provide <strong>more flexible reception hours<\/strong> and if possible an opening 6 days a week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, achieving more<strong> home visits<\/strong> with women who are victims of violence because they help to strengthen the bonds of trust and to set up a <strong>emergency fund<\/strong> for the most vulnerable women and girls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project is closed but <strong>we continue to accompany young children in Nepal<\/strong> through the Maternelle de l'Espoir in Kathmandu and the extension of activities in other schools in the capital and in the Dhading district.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the next three years, with the help of our local partners Child Nepal and Prayash Nepal, we will work with schools and teachers in <strong>62 preschool classes<\/strong>welcoming <strong>2500 children from 3 to 6 years old<\/strong>.
