Alternative Care: An Animated Film

This is Suman’s story. His mother sends him to a child care home due to difficult circumstances at home but was that the best option for him?

Studies have shown that children grow best physically, socially and intellectually when they live with their own families or in a community setting. In Nepal, 39,888 children are without appropriate care due to poverty, death of parents, abuse, violence and humanitarian disasters. In a situation where children cannot live with their immediate families they should be placed under kinship care or with another family within the same community. The video’s audio is Nepali with English subtitles.
