Reintegration

Once a child has been rescued from an abusive orphanage, the reintegration process begins. This takes time. Children are re-homed in a safe transitional home, taken care of, rehabilitated and provided with an education. NGN staff use innovative counseling play techniques to spark children’s memories of family and home which were long ago forgotten. Using this and other information, search teams set out to the, often, remote regions of Nepal, in search of the families. Once found, and once the family has been assessed by our team, and we are assured that the child would be safe and provided for, only then can reconnections take place with the family.  NGN continues to monitor all its reunified children for up to 3 years to ensure that they are safe, continuing their education and free from the risk of being re-trafficked.
