500 schools have been identified as the target schools for this program, spread across 5 hot-spot trafficking regions of Nepal. In total this represents 175,000 students. Most of these students are from poor, lower class families and considered easier targets by traffickers due to poverty and desperation. EACH YEAR, 6,500 students will be handpicked from participating schools to complete the Hamro Abhiyan program (in total over 90 Hamro Abhiyan presentations will be made). These students will then be responsible for taking the message back to the rest of the school body covering an estimated 25,000 students per year. Handouts will be provided to each student for them to then take home to parents/ siblings with the indirect impact of the program being in excess of 100,000.
July to December 2019 Impact • 66 schools including 2,027 students participated in the Hamro Abhiyan human trafficking awareness program.
• 2 groups of Nepali Army trainees totalling 153 people also did the training.
