## Trustees’ Annual Report 2023/2024
## **Forward:**
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. We support and protect the group of children who are highly vulnerable and often exploited, used, abused and forgotten. We have provided them a home with love and care, Education for the better future, better health, and legal aid, to support them to re-integrate into mainstream society. It is not easy for those children who have been through traumatic experiences.
In this report, we provide a narrative of the charity’s activities, we measure our success against well-defined aims and objectives. We continued and will continue to support and monitor our work with Children in Kathmandu. 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.
