Socio-Psycho- Counselling

Heavy struck earthquake harmed to mostly children, underprivileged and

aged group. More than 15 thousand children have lost their family and

many children are displaced. Due to this circumstances, they have a psy-

chological problem, so they ought to take motivational counselling class

in this situation. Socio-Psycho-Counselling is national-wide mass counsel-

ling and motivational campaign. This campaign will organize in remote

area’s, government school and back warded community. The expertise

will give earthquake related positive practical Knowledge, massage and

they will furnish out some practical Yoga and therapy. After this program

Children will carry out the knowledge and skills in their daily life.

4-H Scholarship and educational Support Program

Government of Nepal haven’t formulate effective plan for geographically

backward people. For the most part, Himalaya's remote area which is lo-

cated in China boarder, people are back-warded from infrastructure and

well-educational development. On the other hand, recently beat major

Shocks and aftershocks collapsed more than 6 million houses and almost

7 thousand schools has damaged. Hence, thousand of children's are di-

rectly affected by the earth-quake. They have lost their textbook, cloths

(school uniform) and they haven't money for day lunch, even parents too. ,

Farming therapy is new and innovative idea in Nepali context. This

program is prepared for youngster. People are anguish from pov-

tional farming in the village, which isn't giving enough income for

daily livelihood. Government of Nepal doesn't make effective plan

in agriculture sector at rural areas, and unemployment ratio is

growing day by day. In the other hand Nepalese youngster have

negative conception about agriculture, thus farming therapy pro-

gram designed those young people, who are unemployed in the

community. In this program we will deliver positive massage about

agriculture and value of it. 4-H Nepal will promote l cluster farming

work. And in this project we will apply international knowledge,

skills and technology.
