The ABCs of reconstruction: How SOS Children’s Villages helps a new generation in Nepal
In the year since the Nepal earthquake struck on 25 April 2015, SOS Children’s Villages has been on the ground setting up child friendly spaces, providing humanitarian support for families in need, reuniting children with parents, and offering alternative care for children who could not be reunited with parents.
SOS Children’s Villages is also investing in the long term by helping to rebuild family homes and reconstruct damaged schools. We are supporting students who lost valuable classroom time during the first months of the earthquake through make-up classes and extra studies for those preparing for their graduation exams.
Over the past year, SOS Children’s Villages has provided more than 10,000 students with the resources to help them in school. These photos illustrate how we are helping – today and in the future. All photos by Martin Prihoda.
