Reintegration and Economic Empowerment of Vulnerable Families
June 06, 2025
The Sunischit Bhawisya reintegration model is founded on the principle that effectively reintegrating children into their families and home communities significantly reduces the likelihood of re-trafficking and new trafficking cases within those communities. Consequently, our model not only provides essential aftercare to child survivors of trafficking but also addresses the underlying causes of child trafficking in Nepal.
Our reintegration and empowerment program employs a three-phased intervention to ensure the successful and sustainable reintegration of trafficked children in Nepal. Incorporating best practices further strengthen our performance in this crucial area, as we have integrated them into the implementation of our reintegration and empowerment model.
The reintegration and empowerment program is built upon a strong foundation of comprehensive protection, education, socio-economic, and legal support. Rescued children receive transitional care, encompassing medical assessments and ongoing treatments, psychosocial counseling and play therapy, nutritional support, and temporary education and housing until they can be safely reunited/reintegrated with their families and communities.
The entire reintegration and monitoring process also serves to stimulate and strengthen the role of local government agencies in closely monitoring and preventing child trafficking within their communities.
Furthermore, our intervention and strategies aim to address the broader economic factors that contribute to families choosing institutional care for their children. Sano Paila recognizes that reintegration alone is not sustainable without connecting and linking families to income-generating activities. The Sunischit Bhawisya program is designed to impact both the micro-level, addressing individual family challenges, and the macro-level, working to reduce further trafficking of children and their displacement from villages to major cities in Nepal.
Sano Paila has successfully rescued, reintegrated, and provided care to over 422 children who have suffered exploitation and abuse, including enslavement and trafficking.
