What
Under this project, commonly referred to as Community Resilience for Children, Hands of Mercy International served as the lead donor, providing overall coordination, funding, strategic leadership, and accountability for project implementation. Hands of Mercy International worked in partnership with Catholic Charities USA, district authorities, and local civil society organizations to strengthen systems supporting orphans and vulnerable children.
The project focused on improving district and community structures to better serve children affected by poverty, labor migration, and the 2015 earthquake. Working across Bagmati, Lumbini, Karnali, and Madhesh Provinces, the project mobilized community child protection committees and strengthened linkages between schools, health facilities, and social welfare offices to ensure coordinated and timely service delivery.
Hands of Mercy International led community mobilization, partner coordination, and results-based oversight, while supporting capacity building on child protection, HIV awareness, gender equality, and safeguarding. The project also strengthened local partners’ monitoring, evaluation, and reporting systems in line with national policies and donor requirements.
