The continuation of the relief work in the affected area, read the words of the CPCS Task Team on the ground:
In the past days, CPCS teams have travelled through the flood affected districts of Rasuwa and Uttargaya, where communities continue to deal with the aftermath of severe flooding. The route through the region remains challenging: damaged roads, limited access and long detours define the journey. After departing from Godawari on 16 September, the team reached Nuwakot and spent the night above Trisuli Bazaar before continuing toward Uttargaya Ward 3.
Upon arrival in Thulogau around midday, CWIN had prepared a storage room for the relief goods. Together, the organizations unloaded the materials and began assembling support packages. In coordination with CWIN and the Ward Office, CPCS prepared 161 relief packages, complementing 160 packages previously assembled by CWIN and 60 additional packages provided by the Ward Office. The area counts 484 households, of which 310 families were identified as severely affected. Distribution took place in the presence of ward representatives to ensure transparency and proper targeting.
On 18 September, the team continued operations in Uttargaya Ward 2. At Bhumeshwori Secondary School, CPCS distributed 792 notebooks and 250 pens, offering students essential materials as they prepare to resume classes. Additional stationery and clothing were provided to families in the ward.
Ward 1 presents a different situation. Most residents have relocated to relatives or temporary shelters in Nuwakot, leaving the ward largely empty. Road access remains extremely limited, with only narrow footpaths connecting scattered homes. Transport costs have increased significantly, and trucks no longer operate at previous rates, complicating the delivery of relief goods.
Across all visited locations, one need stands out: children require basic school items such as school bags, tracksuits and books. Many lost their belongings during the floods, and replacing these materials is essential for restoring a sense of normalcy.
Despite the difficult terrain and logistical constraints, CPCS continues to visit affected communities, gather information and deliver support where it is most urgently needed. The work progresses step by step, sustained by close cooperation with local partners and the resilience of the families themselves.

With heartfelt thanks to all our friends, partners and donors for the incredible support. Thanks to you, this work becomes possible.

NEPAL – STANDING WITH CHILDREN AND FAMILIES AFTER THE DEVASTATING FLOODS

Before anything else, we want to express our deepest gratitude to all those who are making this response possible.

To the many private individuals who have responded with extraordinary generosity; to the Van Dyck family; to Namaste Nepal 88; to the many friends and supporters of CPCS who have once again stood beside us when help was urgently needed – thank you.

And a very special thank you to La Chaîne de l’Espoir, a long-standing partner of CPCS, for being at our side in this emergency response and for once again placing its trust in our teams and our work.

This solidarity is already being transformed into concrete support on the ground.

More than 1,250 people have lost their lives. More than 4,200 are still missing or out of contact. Thousands of families have been displaced.

In Uttargaya alone, where our team is currently working, initial assessments report 1,100 homes completely destroyed and 1,100 families displaced.

Behind these figures are children who have lost their homes, their schools, their familiar surroundings – and, for some, members of their families.

Following an initial assessment mission and close coordination with local authorities and child-protection actors, CPCS Nepal has deployed a team to Betrawati, Uttargaya Rural Municipality-5, Rasuwa, one of the areas devastated by the floods.

This current four-day field mission is part of CPCS's broader response to the disaster. Our team is working directly in the affected communities to assess needs, provide immediate support and identify where further assistance can make a meaningful difference.

The team has reached the Shivalaya and Nilkantha School holding centres, where displaced children, young people and families have found temporary shelter.

The immediate needs are material. But they are also deeply human.

Children have experienced fear, sudden displacement, destruction and loss. Helping them means responding to basic needs – but it also means giving them a safe space to play again, to speak, to interact and, even for a few hours, to simply be children.

Working alongside local authorities, Child Welfare Officers, schools, community representatives and the CWIN counselling team, CPCS is providing psychosocial and stress-management activities, individual support and recreational activities.

Football, volleyball, badminton, skipping ropes, chess, Ludo, carrom boards, drawing and creative activities may seem like small things in the middle of such devastation.

For a child living in a temporary holding centre after losing everything familiar, they are not small things.

Our team is also providing legal-awareness activities for affected families, with information on their rights, available government assistance, child-protection mechanisms and referral services. Vulnerable children and families requiring additional assistance are being identified and referred to appropriate services.

Access remains extremely difficult in parts of the affected area. Our team is examining, together with those responsible on the ground, possibilities for reaching isolated communities on the other side of the river, where access may require helicopter transport.

We cannot undo what happened.

But we can be there now – and remain engaged beyond these first days: listening, protecting, supporting and working with local partners to determine what children and families will need next.

Step by step, and in coordination with those already responding on the ground, CPCS will continue to assess where its support can be most useful.

To everyone who has donated, supported, shared, encouraged or simply trusted us: thank you. Your solidarity is reaching children and families who need it today.

CPCS IN RASUWA AND NUWAKOT – FROM ASSESSMENT TO ACTION

After the devastating floods in Nepal, CPCS teams have now reached the affected areas of Nuwakot and Rasuwa, despite extremely difficult access conditions.

Nearly one tonne of emergency relief materials has already been delivered.

The journey itself reflects the challenges faced by the affected communities. Roads have been damaged or have become inaccessible to regular vehicles, forcing our team to stop, reorganise the transport of relief supplies and continue with off-road vehicles, in close coordination with local people and authorities.

Our team has now reached Betrawati, where more than 500 people affected by the floods are currently staying in four temporary shelters – three schools and a ward office. At Shivalaya Basic School alone, 55 children are currently being sheltered.

CPCS has handed over its first relief materials to the local collection and distribution system and met with the Ward Chairperson, the Child Welfare Officer and teachers.

Our approach is simple: identify what is really needed, avoid duplicating what is already available, and work within the response coordinated by the local authorities.

Food and clothing are currently available in the shelter visited by our team, but important gaps remain, particularly basic cooking equipment such as pressure cookers, cooking pots, pans, plates and other essential utensils.

We are therefore continuing to collect additional essential supplies according to the needs identified on the ground. At the same time, CPCS is ensuring that its own emergency stocks and facilities remain ready to respond rapidly if additional needs emerge.

CPCS does not operate a permanent centre in the affected area. Our intervention is therefore being organised in close cooperation with local authorities, child protection services and existing community structures.

Particular attention is being given to children.

In accordance with the decisions and instructions of the competent Nepali authorities, CPCS is preparing its existing centres for the possibility of temporarily receiving children who may have been separated from their families or who may require immediate protection.

Any such intervention will only take place in coordination with and upon guidance from the National Child Rights Council (NCRC), Child Helpline 104 and the competent local authorities. Family tracing, reunification and the best interests of every child remain our priorities.

Our team will continue visiting affected areas, meeting communities and authorities, assessing needs and adapting our response accordingly.

Access remains difficult. Electricity and communications are unreliable. The full extent of the needs is still being assessed.

But CPCS is there.

Nearly one tonne of relief materials has already reached the affected population. More essential supplies are being mobilised. Our emergency stocks are being prepared. And our child protection capacities are on standby, should the competent authorities require them.

Listening. Coordinating. Preparing. Acting.

Alongside the communities and authorities responding on the ground.

Dear friends,
We thank you all for your sympathy and for the many messages of concern regarding the safety of the CPCS Centers in Nepal. Through this message, we wish to inform you that the team members, as well as the children and youth under our protection, are safe.

CPCS will certainly provide support to those suffering from this terrible disaster, especially children and their families who have lost their homes, their loved ones, and their livelihoods. At the moment, we are in consultation with other organizations offering assistance, so that our efforts do not overlap.

We will keep you informed. This disaster will have very long‑lasting consequences. So many displaced people, and so many children who have lost their families, homes, and income.

We are proud to launch the new website of CPCS International and the CPCS Alliance:

And to share our January–June 2026 Activity Report:
👉https://cpcs.international/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/CPCS-International-Half-Yearly-Report-2026-Jan-June-Revised.pdf

CPCS was born in Nepal in 2002, from direct work with children in street situations in Kathmandu. More than two decades later, our roots remain deeply anchored in Nepal, while the CPCS Alliance has grown and our commitment now reaches Burundi, Rwanda, and, through partnerships (LiveLoveDream), Belgium and Ukraine.

🇳🇵 🇧🇮 🇷🇼 🇧🇪 🇺🇦

Different countries. Different realities. But the same fundamental conviction:

Children have rights. Young people have rights. And turning 18 does not make vulnerability, exclusion or the need for opportunities suddenly disappear.

We speak — rightly — about children's rights. But we must also speak more loudly about young people's rights and the rights of youth.

Too often, adolescents and young adults gradually disappear from protection programmes precisely when they are expected to become independent, find education or employment, access healthcare and housing, and build their place in society.

At CPCS, we refuse to see children and young people simply as "beneficiaries".

They are rights-holders. They have a voice. They have capacities, aspirations and dreams. They must be actors in their own lives.

Our responsibility is to listen, to protect, to accompany, to create opportunities — and above all, to act.

In a world marked by conflict, inequality, poverty and exclusion, defending the rights of children and young people cannot remain a good intention.

It is our duty to act.

And everyone can do something.

🤝 Support a project.
🤝 Introduce us to a potential partner.
🤝 Open a door.
🤝 Talk about CPCS.
🤝 Or simply SHARE THIS POST.

Because one share can create a contact.
One contact can create a partnership.
And one partnership can change lives.

Because children's and young people's rights are not defended by words alone.

They are defended through action.
