The yield of this evening is especially for The Child Protection Centre (CPC) of Maiti Nepal in Kathmandu. Since 1993, Maiti Nepal has been conducting this Centre, which is a residence for 250 children.  CPC has been offering shelter to children from different backgrounds: most of them have a history of being trafficked or are the children of mothers who were forced to work as sex workers in India.

Apart from taking care of their basic needs, CPC has been providing these children with a holistic care and support service. But also secure sheltered living facility, legal and medical support as well as exposing them to the realities of life outside the shelter. With the money raised, Free a Girl will support a shelter for 250 children in Kathmandu who are a victim of abuse and sexual violence.
