Welcome

Namaste and very best wishes to all our children, helpers and friends! Welcome to The Talbot Centre website, we hope you find this a useful resource. Please use the menu on the left hand side to navigate around the site.

The children of Nepal

• 5000 children are living and working on the streets, an estimated 1000 of these are in Kathmandu, some are as young as 4 years.
• At least 40,000 children are bonded labourers.
• An estimated 60,000 children die every year from malnutrition and treatable diseases before the age of 5.
• 2.6 Million children are engaged in different types of child labour.
• There is no government provision for the care of orphaned/abandoned children and no free medical treatment provided.
• Every year approximately 27,000 children die from dysentry.

The Talbot Centre is maintained entirely by voluntary contributions. Details of how to sponsor a child are now online. Please take a look at our 'How can you help' page for details!
