CNET-Nepal is to create a common platform for the Child Care Homes (institutional care of orphan, abandon and children at risk in Nepal). We hold strong belief that this common platform would be a link among community, local government, likeminded organizations, and of course international community. It can also be a forum for raising strong voices for the concern of its member organizations.
