Addressing Poverty-Related Issues in Developing Mountain Cultures

Girl's Hostel

At Orchid Garden Nepal, young girls come to school everyday but are facing sexual abuse in the home. In some cases the parents are working until late evening and the abuse is at the hands of neighborhood boys, in the most extreme cases, it is a family member.
