Star Children Kaski An Alternative Care Approach of Community Based Care for HIV/Aids affected children CWS works with a local Nepalese organisation called Star Children Kaski. Star Children Kaski has been looking after children from all over Nepal who are affected and/or infected with HIV/AIDS. During our research in the Western Region of Nepal, it became clear that there is a huge lack of services for children affected by and/or infected with HIV/AIDS. Star Children Kaski is one of the few in Nepal and the only one in the Western Region with this special focus for these children. They do not believe in institutionalization, they believe in a loving, caring family unit where children can grow up as balanced, independent and happy adolescents. Instead of setting up a large orphanage they set up homes so the children can enjoy a childhood full of love, freedom and family structure. CWS HK is now partnering with Star Children to support its 3rd home to give a new life to children in a family environment. 7
