A
research indicates that, the ignorance of and
failure to correct utilization of locally available resources by
the people is directly responsible for slow rate of development
in the developing countries, which is also the main cause of
increasing poverty in the countries like Nepal. Children living
in poverty will not only have physical disturbance but also have
to tolerate physiological problems. As saying demands ‘
when
poverty in, love and happiness fly out of windows’, where love
and peace does not exist life will encounter so many vex.
The under-5 year’s child mortality rate in Nepal exceeded 1 in 10 in
1996. 48% of the children suffer from malnutrition and nearly 10,000 young children die every year
from preventable or easily treatable diseases; immunization
coverage is estimated at 43%. These facts indicate that food and health services are
desperately required on humanitarian grounds alone.
Education and awareness is the main factor to recognize the pragmatic
approach of the society whilst increasing the rate of development but
Nepal has a very low literacy status with only 40% of whole people being
literate. The literacy rate for male is 55% and 25% is for female
respectively.
Although the government of Nepal has declared compulsory free
education in the primary level, still 60% of the children are
unable to go to school. As a result there is still
implementation of the above declaration is not all satisfactory
and fail to implement.
From our research we found that even though there is high
percentage of 80% registration in schools from the age group of
6-10, above 70% drop the schools. This is due to the parents’
ignorance and illiteracy, child marriage, poverty where children
has to look after household works, conservative society etc.
Keeping in view of the consideration we found out that a huge
homework should be done to educate them. We have to start right
from the bottom level, only policy development won’t be
effective. We have to spread the messages right from the
grassroots level.
Also we welcome the experts from all over the world to come
forward and place your valuable advices how we can uplift these
children and make them better people in the society.
We know it’s not possible without the help of generous
individuals, institutions and organization to tackle this
ambitious project. Hence, we are looking aspirants, generous
and spirit individuals, organizations and institution to join in
hand with us to carry out this ambitious project.
