C.H.A.N.C.E. For Nepal
C.H.A.N.C.E (Children’s Health and Nutrition Care and Education) for Nepal is a registered charity founded by Barbara Datson in 2007 with the explicit aim of helping children in Nepal who are sick, orphaned, handicapped, or underprivileged. Our mission is to improve children’s health, education and well-being by promoting and sponsoring high quality medical care in hospitals, orphanages and schools. We accomplish this through our unique collaboration between medical professionals and organisations committed to improving children’s health and education. Our medical support in Nepal mainly focuses on primary health care targeting identification, detection and treatment. C.H.A.N.C.E for Nepal works closely with two outstanding organizations: ‘Medical Checks for Children‘ a Dutch based charity which regularly sends teams of highly trained and motivated volunteers to Nepal and SHENPEN a Nepalese based charity dedicated to the alleviation of poverty. With SHENPEN we are involved with street child projects, educational programmes, a Montessori teacher training programme, vocational training and animal welfare. C.H.A.N.C.E has set up an educational sponsorship programme at two schools in Kathmandu where 17 children are being sponsored by English sponsors. We are constantly looking for further sponsors.
