Communication & Documentation Volunteer

Setu Nepal

Setu Nepal is a non-profit organization established in 2001 by young professionals of the country. Initially, the organization had the objective to support imprisoned women, who are most often oppressed by society and deprived of having an education. This makes it nearly impossible for them to get proper skills and hence they cannot lead an independent life nor support their children properly. Working with those marginalized people, SETU realized that also people that are infected or affected by HIV are considered as reprobates in the society and abstained in social activities even among the most educated mass. It is in our effort to work as a bridge to help those marginalized people to re-enter into society and help them lead a meaningful life again. In 2010, ONGD-FNEL started to support us and it is also at that time that we started focusing our work on HIV positive women and children. Our activities consist in conducting capacity trainings with HIV positive women, so that they can build an independent life and provide a stable future for themselves and their children. Furthermore, each year we give scholarships and stationary to children of HIV positive women and support them for their further studies. In 2014 we have introduced our transit home “Aarati Home” in our program with the help of Australian volunteers and ONGD-FNEL. Through Aarati Home, we provide a residential centre to the beneficiaries to rehabilitate them and supply emotional and medical care, as well as conduct different events to bring our beneficiaries and people from outside together.
