Project 006 / 2024 – 2028
SETU Nepal, under the ONGD-FNEL Framework Agreement 2024 - 2028, aims to enhance the livelihood of vulnerable populations, specifically women and children affected by HIV. Focused on addressing gender discrimination, education discontinuation, mental and physical health, and poor school management, the project builds on lessons from previous initiatives. It extends support through transit home services, ensuring residential care, medical treatment, psychological counselling, and formal education. Compared to previous projects, this phase emphasizes sustained independence for HIV-affected children, aligning with the organization's goal of long-term impact.
