Trustees’ Annual Report 2022/2023
Foreword
Every year Community support Nepal aims to bring no matter how small but measurable, sustainable and meaningful improvement to the lives of the children, young people and communities we work with. We also aim to be accountable, and this annual report is an important part of that accountability.
We are pleased with what we have achieved this year. We are always striving to reach the hidden children, those in great need and overlooked by others. In Nepal, we have gained a well-deserved reputation in protecting children in conflict with main stream society and the law. We support and protect the group of children is highly vulnerable and often exploited, used, abused and forgotten. We have provided them home with love and care, Education for the better future, healthcare, legal aid, to support the re-integration into the main stream society. It is not easy for those children who have been through traumatic experiences. In this report, we providing a narrative of the charity’s activities, we measure our success against well-defined aims and objectives. We continued and will continue to supporting and monitoring our work with Children in Kathmandu. I am pleased to announce that we have completed our commitment to rebuilding work, which was a success. We are supporting our mission with more effective, efficient and accountable work with an emphasis on higher quality relationships with beneficiaries and with people who supported us.
In 2022/23 our aim was both to deliver the changes planned to children’s lives and to put ourselves in a strong position for the start of the new strategy but due to corona/Covid–19 and dengo, we have to abandoned the plan and protect the life of children and people involved to help the children. Thanks to the efforts of the children and communities that we work with, our partner organisations on the ground, and the commitment of our supporters. We are pleased to report good progress being made in resettlement back in Kathmandu and children are back to school and almost back to normal at the time of this report. The good things are children’s health, wellbeing and education almost as normal as it was pre-Covid.
