There is no mobility in the child centre at the moment. After the closure, some of the children residing in the centre had returned home with help from their relatives and some are compelled to engage in dish washing works when they do not get any helping hands to bring them back to their homes.[break]
With this, the hapless children of Rukum, who had lost their near and dears due to various reasons, are now facing a very tough time. They have neither their home to live in nor relatives to adopt them in this difficult mode of life.
The centre was shut with no new source of income after a local Social Service Fund, which has been extending support to the child home centre since 2055 BS, remained closed.
Children at the age range of 4-15 have been residing in the centre in district headquarters Khalanga. It has been facing financial crisis since last August.
Then Chief District officer Dev Raj Dhakal had issued directives to shut Social Service Fund on August citing the order from Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) to stop the operation of the Fund.
The Fund has been bearing the costs involved on clothes, soaps, necessary foodstuffs and stationary materials for helpless children.
