Sahayatra II Project background

Save the Children together with its local partners is implementing the Integrated Program – Sahayatra II (2019-2023) in five municipalities of three remote hilly districts in the Karnali State of Nepal: Jajarkot, Dailekh and Kalikot districts. The project is funded by Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD). Sahayatra II seeks to enhance the institutional capacity of local and state governments and civil society to respond and create an environment for survival, protection, development, and participation, with a focus on children’s learning, development, and protection from violence; safe school; teenage pregnancy and child marriage; and the underlying framework of child rights governance. The project contributes at the state and federal level to impact change at scale and sustainable impact.

The project targets two municipalities and three rural municipalities of Karnali State: Tilagupha Municipality and Subhakalika Rural Municipality of Kalikot; Gurans Rural Municipality of Dailekh; Chhedagaad Municipality, and Kushe Rural Municipality of Jajarkot district.

The project plans to document one of the best practices of the project known as ‘School at Home’ intervention. There were altogether 162 children with disabilities (Baseline Report 2019) in the project areas who were out of school due to disabilities and lack of disability friendly infrastructure in school. Therefore, ‘School at Home’ program has been designed and implemented for children who are out of school and deprived of education due to their multiple disabilities. The program aims to provide learning opportunities in the comfort of their own homes with the support of a trained facilitator to eventually enrol/integrate them in formal schools/education based on their learning level. There are altogether 29 children with multiple disability who are being supported through this activity. The film is expected to capture the overall process, and impact on children, capture learnings and achievements of this activity and way forward for the program’s sustainability.

The film will be a visual evidence piece made primarily for donors, government, and relevant stakeholders and eventually to be used in social media and for internal sharing purposes. This video also will be used as model to encourage organizations who are working for education sector to ensure rights to education for all children.

To capture this best practice, the consulting crew will have to visit any three working palikas of the project in Dailekh, Jajarkot and Kalikot. The film will be made in the style of a short documentary with the run time being no more than 4-5 minutes.
