Child Protection Agency supporting Children at risk and in street situations.
All the schools that had been closed due to Coronavirus have now reopened and, thanks to safe methods, the number of children coming to school is increasing. CPCS International conducted a program that aimed at providing schools with masks and sanitary equipment that most of them were missing. Furthermore, CPCS’ nurses are also encouraging public awareness of the current situation thanks to classes and services to children.
Health is very important to CPCS International. Indeed, the organization supported a general health checkup yesterday in the secondary school Belbari Morang. Moreover, these last days, they also gave classes about how to maintain personal hygiene in COVID-19 times and provided various schools with dignity kits, wound dressings, and betadine solution

This report is published in the context of Covid-19.
Since January 2020 an epidemic of Coronavirus COVID-19 (ex 2019-nCoV) has spread from China to European countries and further afield.
In response to this pandemic, CPCS, and its team do their best to be ready in case of an emergency. This includes conducting awareness classes for the children about coronavirus and how to prevent the contagion but also organizing food stocks and cleaning products in case of a state emergency.
CPCS tries to do the best for the children of Nepal and around the world to keep them safe! We hope that our partners and everyone are well and safe.
CPCS is very pleased to present to you its annual report. This report explains our actions, our ambitions, and detail what we were able to do during the year.
What a great way to begin the new year! CPCS has provided the children with brand new calendars. One of the many issues of Nepal’s educational system is the lack of school supplies especially after the 2015 earthquake when more than 5,000 schools have been damaged and many books disappeared. Schools in Nepal were woefully inadequate even before the quake, and the country’s literacy rate of about 66 percent is among the lowest in Asia.
CPCS tries to counteract these issues by providing classes and basic school supplies.
The children were enthusiastic about it!
We celebrated makar Sankranti with the children! It usually falls on 14 January. It is a major harvest festival that marks the movement of the sun from one zodiac sign to the other: Capricorn zodiac sign knows at Makara (hence the name). In Nepal, this day is in honor of deity Surya and it is believed that any auspicious and sacred ritual can be sanctified in any Nepali family, this day on-wards. It also marks the termination of winter season and the beginning of longer days and a new harvest. It is observed all around the country with great fanfares. We decided to celebrate with special dishes. The children had a great time!

Sports are of great importance for children as physical activity stimulates growth and positively contributes to children’s self-esteem and well-being. Moreover, sportive children are less likely to suffer from high blood pressure and heart disease in later life than non-active ones. Furthermore, numerous studies have shown that sportive children perform better in school and are better team players. CPCS alliance recognizes the importance of sports for children and provides the necessary sport infrastructures to host several sportive events throughout the year.
