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 improving the lives of children who are sick and under- privileged in Nepal.
Our mission is to improve children's health, education and well-being.
We accomplish this through our unique collaboration with the non-profit organization, SHENPEN, a voluteer-based Nepalese charity run by westerners who are resident in Kathmandu. Our involvement with SHENPEN focuses on Education, Children's Health, Street Children, Skills Training and Animal Welfare.
C.H.A.N.C.E. for Nepal also works closely with the organization Medical Checks for Children. Medical checks for children under twelve years are carried out where the focus is on primary health care. We believe that prevention should be concurrent with acute care. The medical checks in orphanages and schools are targetted at identification, detection and treatment.
C.H.A.N.C.E. for Nepal has an educational sponsorship programme in two 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!
