Sachham - A Bridge to Adult Life

The Sachham project enables young people without family and / or financial support to complete school and vocational training, which, depending on their talents will help them secure their own existence in the future.​
 

A third of the population is under 14 years old. The great poverty in rural areas means that more and more children are growing up without fathers, who have to emigrate to ensure the livelihood of their families. In addition, many parents see themselves compelled in the situation of having to send their children to the city to find work. From the age of 5 the children have to work in the carpet industry, in brick factories, quarries, on construction sites, in agriculture, in households or hotels.

Our second stay this autumn was all about consolidating what has been achieved so far and initiating the next steps for the development of the Training centre. The first ideas were already communicated to us in the summer by those responsible in Kathmandu. But as is so often the case, other ideas came to the fore during the discussions on site. But first things first...
