I still have not been able to get a contact to
communicate with for this assignment. So I was attempting to do the alternate
assignment by assessing the childhoodpoverty.org
webpage, but I was unable to pull up the page. I contacted the professor
about my concerns about the assignment. So being stuck in a stand still, I decided
to type in Google search about CHIP and found out they partner with Save the
Children. So I decided to look into their website and research poverty concerns
in Nepal, Asia. I was devastated to find out how poverty has really had an
effect on children and families in this country. Also I was able to find the
following facts and statistics , according
to Save the Children (2014):
·
“Poverty Rate: 24%”
·
“Save the Children's programs support the
formation and development of women's groups, community-based organizations, and
self-help groups with leadership training, management skills, and limited seed
money to expand access to credit.”
·
“Entrenched poverty and a decade of violent political instability have taken a
toll on the Nepalese people,
although a lasting peace is gaining momentum, creating real hope for long-term
political reconciliation. Much of the population lives in remote rural areas on
the plains and others living in scattered settlements in the hills and
mountains. More than one in three people in Nepal live in extreme poverty,
subsisting on less than $1 per day.”
