Karnali Province is regarded as one of the remote Province of Nepal as it lacks various opportunities and infrastructural
development. Most of the people of the province are living under poverty which has led various issues and problems in the areas.
As per the human Index the status of children and women is very low in these areas. Due to poverty and lack of awareness
complicated issues such as child marriage, child labor, trafficking, Chaupadi, violence etc rate are seen to be high in these areas
which are taken as very common in the rural areas of this area. So, to provide awareness as well as to support and to eradicate
such issues Baal Helpline 1098 as well as Women and Children Center (Shelter) service is operated by the organization. The
major objective of the Baalhelpline 1098 and Shelter is to protect women and children right and to protect them from any kind of
violence
In approval of National Child Right Counsel, Baal Helpline 1098 in Kalikot and Dailekh is operating by the organization where
children at any problem could make a call and take service as per their need. Both Ntc and Ncell user can make the call in free of
cost and share their problem which is attended and quick response to their problem is made. This includes rescue, rehabilitation
and reintegration with family along with counselling and scholarship programs as well. In the case of Dailekh Baal Helpline NCELL
users can have access to organization through 1098 from all 10 districts of Karnali Province whereas only Dailekh district is
accessible by Ntc users. Similarly, in Kalikot the coverage districts of Baalhelpline 1098 are Kalikot, Jumla, Mugu, Humla and
Dolpa. Daily number of calls are attended and on response activities children are even rescued from India also who were provided
rehabilitation, counselling, scholarship as well as reintegration service. Along with this number of cases of child marriage has been
stopped and has made contribution in minimizing child labor as well.
Beside this, organization is also operating Women and Children Center (Shelter) service to those women and children who are at
violence or are in the risk of violence. Due to poverty and lack of knowledge, still many women and children are compelled to bear
the violence and even crime against them. So, to provide them justice and to provide shelter in their emergency organization is
operating this service where such women and children can stay and process for justice. Counselling, assist in process of justice,
advocacy is made through this shelter which have close coordination with District Police office, District Administrative office and
other stakeholders. Coverage areas of Dailekh shelter with phone number 089-410222 is Dailekh and its surrounding district such

wounds. After identified their identity as a nomadic, indigenous ethnic group, government has provided allowances in regular
basis. Beside these, some other helping hands also providing cloths and foods eventually. As a result, they are missing their
