Child Rescue Nepal frees children from slavery. We rescue children, keep them safe and reunite them with their families. Child Rescue Nepal has rescued over 1,000 children but our work is far from over. We want to end child slavery in Nepal and we won’t stop until every child is free.

Story

<h2><span style="color: #ffcc00;">Sapana - Company of dreams</span></h2> <p class="style1"><span style="color: #000080;">A contemporary circus company with a difference is growing by the day in Kathmandu. 'Sapana - Company of Dreams' (Sapana is Nepali for 'dream / aspiration') comprises children and young people we have rescued from Indian circuses as well as former street children and the dependents of prisoners.</span></p> <p class="style1"><span style="color: #000080;">The project was born when some of the former circus children expressed a desire to develop the skills they were once forced to learn into something for their own pleasure. The results have been astonishing.</span></p> <p class="style1"><span style="color: #000080;">Beyond being a cathartic experience for the performers, it has also become clear that with the correct support and training they have a very real opportunity to forge careers as professional performers. This autumn a series of shows is planned, with a showcase performance in Dubai scheduled in October.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">Thanks for taking the time to visit the Sapana contemporary circus JustGiving page.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
