In Nepal, we work primarily preventively through our collaboration with Build up Nepal. We create conditions for residents in the poorest and most vulnerable parts of Nepal to build their own houses, toilets and schools with climate-friendly, cost-effective and earthquake-resitent construction technology.

Since the men often are abroad to work, it is common that the women take responsibility for the construction work and this contributes to increased equality between the men and women. The model also creates opportunities for local entrepreneurs, in many cases women, who start their own companies based on the experience they gain through the construction of their house.

This radically reduces people's exposure to human trafficking.

In Nepal, we also support people who have survived human trafficking, mainly through cooperation with the non-profit organization ABC Nepal. An organization that runs several homes for girls who have been exposed to, or is at risk of ending up in, sex trafficking. The girls rescued from brothels or other slave-like conditions are offered housing, education, medical care and trauma treatment.
