Le besoin : quel problème tentez-vous de résoudre ?
Poverty and social exclusion are engulfing Nepalese families. When family economy falls back, social capital is distroyed, and state becomes unable to respond through welfare provisions; vulnerable population, especially children, are the worst victim and consequently end up on the street. There are +5000 children living on the street with precarious conditions and 2.6 million child labourers are vulnerable to become street children in Nepal. Child-focused NGOs are the last resort to protect them but lack of access to sustainable financial resources and over depedence on traditional charity, they are often forced to discontinue services. The work these NGOs do are important but the fund raising efforts are painful and unsustainable.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
Employment generation and financial self-reliance are the latest measures that Child Watabaran Center Nepal (CWCN) has developed to respond to this issue. Protecting vulnerable families from falling down by generating employment, assisting slum families with daycare, women saving groups and supporting enterprise are some of the preventive works CWCN does. For street children who can not be covered by these intervention, CWCN runs a school and homes to prepare them as self-fulfilling citizen by imparting education to care for environment, perservervarance, family value, humanity and respect to work. As these models are established, CWCN has started focusing more on developing a Social Business - with focus on fair clothes manufacturing - to employ people from vulnerable families and ex-street youths. Primarily, it generates profit to fund the activities for the protection and education of street children its child homes thereby creating a unique sustainable model.
Le système : décrivez un exemple spécifique montrant de quelle façon votre initiative fonctionne ; indiquez vos principales activités.
CWCN runs a child homes for more than 60 street children- both girls and boys - rescued from streets of Kathmandu and provide rehabilitative support through counseling, medical services, non formal education and homes to develop their secure childhood. Focusing on the individual potentiality of these children, CWCN fosters environment for children to develop thier soul and congnitive aspects so that they develop the urge to connect to family, increase sense of empathy and start looking society from the more affirmative attitude. Once these children are at the age of 16, they learn vocational skills with opportunity to be gainfully employed. One of such vocational training is a sewing training. Once these youths complete training, they join the clothes manufacturing unit of Social Business Enterprises - a non profit sharing company that CWCN started - where other tailors from socially excluded castes - e.g. Darjee- are employed. Social Business Enterprises produces its own tailor-made branded shirts "THE FAIR TAILOR" and works as production unit for other clothing companies. The youths are employed with more than average income of Nepalese garment workers with health insurance and fair working conditions. The profit that Social Business Enterprises makes are invested to partially support the operating cost of child homes. This way, CWCN promotes employability of underprivildged castes and street ex street youths; as well as generates profit to finance the operating cost of child homes.

Our peers are: fellow NGOs and other small tailoring stores but we have social business model which they lack. Informed Customers who want to be responsible buyers than to be the passive donor are also our peers. Garment factories which exploit people to make products cheapers, giant clothing brands who make clothes cheaper by buying from exploitative environment are our biggest competitors.What differentiates us is not on WHAT we do, but HOW we do. We promote cause-driven products, prosper on our grounded belief that beneficiary arent a passive receipient of charity, but an active contributor to change. The competitors are our motivators who make us realize the importance of empowering vulnerable families and youths and it helps us increase sales by strongly communicating our belief.

Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
The social business model has so far been able to bring 21 ex-street youths to gainful employment and 6 in the Social Business Enterprises (SBE) alone. 17 tailor's families have been able to send their children to school due to their job in SBE. The children of these tailors otherwise would have ended up on the street. Consequently, 31 street children have been able to return to the families. Access to job is only the means to enjoy overarching social benifits that CWCN and SBE offer such as health insurance,fair working conditions andpsychosocial and career counseling which helps to keep family relationship intact. This helps to promote self-sustaining environment in the family. At the side of income genration, the social business enterprises has been able to generate 10% of the operating cost of child homes (as of year 2010) helping party to rescue and rehabilitate 54 children in child homes.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?
CWCN through its social business would like to generate the income to be able to support at least 50% of the operating cost of child homes by selling at least 9000 of our branded tailor made shirts "The Fair Tailor" over the internet and 400 shirts per month thereof which would be employing 30 tailors from vulnerable Darjee caste families and 10 ex-street youths grown up in CWCN's child home. Having 30 tailors gainfully employed, they will support average of 3 of their children in one family with food housing and education. 10 ex-street youths employed and will live a dignified life. CWCN will provide protective sanctuary to 60 more street children at our child homes from the profit we make. The 9000 shirts buyers will be potential marketeers of our social business.

Création de l'organisation : nous voulons tout savoir sur votre déclic. Expliquez-nous oú et quand les fondateurs se sont rendu compte que cette solution possédait un véritable potentiel pour changer le monde.
Seeing children develop through school, homes, mobile health services was marvellous. Children excelled in education and connected to families. Impact was relentless, but the same time, we were becoming painfully limited in our budget. 2005 started showing some chilling backlash. Some children did not fit in classroom and need handy jobs. We tapped in their interest by organizing sewing training in 2005. But fall out followed and one of the donors supporting our girls home left us making around 13 girls lives at risk. That sent us an alarming message. From our saving we bought and rented out an electric bus. We managed to sell 150 T-shirts sewn by trainees and all gave some sigh. These shock made us more of an enterpreneur and that motivated us to start sewing factory in 2006 and later on it became a working social business model. This increased employment of these youths and at the same time generated incomes for partial financial self-reliance of our work.
