NCRC appeals for support for Bhotekoshi flood-affected children

Kathmandu: The National Child Rights Council has invited charitable organisations and individuals to apply to take part in a protection, care, and support plan for children affected by the Bhotekoshi flood.

In a public notice, the council asked applicants to submit their applications through the relevant ward office. The flood has affected 584 children in Rasuwa and Nuwakot. The plan will cover children under the age of 18.

It will also include children who have not received adequate protection because they or their guardians were injured, as well as children who require special protection under the Children’s Act, 2075 BS.

The council said it faces a major challenge in protecting children who lost their parents in the flood or were separated from their families, while also ensuring their education, health care, psychosocial counselling, and long-term rehabilitation.
