Welcome
C.H.A.N.C.E for Nepal (Children’s Health and Nutrition Care and Education) is a registered charity founded by Barbara Datson in 2006 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 wellbeing 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. Our medical support in Nepal mainly focuses on primary health care. We believe that prevention should be concurrent with acute care. The medical checks in the orphanages and schools are targeted at 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 charity dedicated to the alleviation of poverty.
In addition, C.H.A.N.C.E sponsors educational programmes at three schools in Kathmandu. Many children who have been abandoned or their family circumstances are such that they are safer in a boarding environment have benefited from this sponsorship. We are therefore constantly looking for sponsors to give a child the chance of a full time education, which in Nepal is a privilege!
