Children in Nepal
SDC has chosen to work with child laborers,
because their situation is one of the worst in the world. Nepal
has 2.6 million child laborers according to one estimate by the
International Labor Organization (ILO). Most of these children are working as household workers. Many are employed in brick kilns, transport, mines, factories and other extremely risky businesses.
Smile Nepal project is concentrating its efforts on the children in the

Related Organization Supporting Young
Women in Nepal:
The Bo M. Karlsson Foundation (BMKF), a non-profit
organization awards scholarships to universities and
trade schools to underprivileged young women in
Nepal.
BMKF strives to find candidates whose access
to systems of higher education has been limited and
who otherwise would not be able to attend. With an
all-volunteer board in the U.S. and volunteer
advisors in the U.S. and Nepal, the majority of the
donations raised goes directly to providing women
with all the financial resources they will need to
be successful in their educational pursuits.
The
Foundation’s goal is to work individually with all
the recipients, giving them guidance and
encouragement so that they can complete their
educational programs and become self-reliant,
confident and productive citizens in their own
country.
