Due
to
the
Gorkha
Earthquake
2015
approximately 1 million children were directly
affected by the earthquake.
Almost 90 % of children were forced to drop out
because of destruction of school.
Substantial
numbers
of
children
got
psychological problems and lack of motivational
support and they faced the difficulties.
The tragic reality today is that no matter where
you may be living, city or suburb, developed or
developing country, there are going to be some
or many children and youth who have
experienced mild to profound trauma in their
young lives.


From Previous projects we found out that
Gorkha Earthquake and frequent aftershocks
caused a majority of children who lacked
motivational support, to face fear, loneliness,
and lack of attention on academic activities in
supported school.
During Interactions with Government officials
in emergency response, almost all students
lacked motivational support due to the
earthquake.

Young School Children are the back bone and future of the
Nation so the state and non state actors should give the first
priority to secure their future.
School is a second home for children.
Education is the base of Development, Civilization and
Socialization of the Nation. The Public Education System is
critical, so to empower the public education system is important.
Most of the education related organizations are currently talking
about the affected school buildings and death casualties of
students, but there are many death casualties of teachers too.
Before resuming the formal education we should work to
normalize the situation due to loss of teachers and students in
their schools by providing them psychosocial support

Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, a world-renowned expert
in child and adolescent trauma, has become the
leading proponent of classifying a type of trauma
that describes the cluster of symptoms that
manifest in children and adolescents who have
been victims of complex trauma, Developmental
Trauma Disorder (DTD).
The case for DTD as its own classification is that
children
suffering
from
complex
and
interpersonal trauma consistently present with a
coherent group of symptoms that should be
considered as part of the trauma, instead of
simultaneous, yet independent, disorders.

The purpose of the study is to know the
effect of disaster on children and youth and
bring them out of the psycho-social trauma
of disaster.
*Study will be limited to the Kathmandu district
of Nepal.
The study will also be limited to 300 8-18 year
old children (both girls and boys).
Survey
method will be adopted to collect the
information about the psychosocially affected
children.
Psychological
counselling sessions will be
done to the affected children if needed.
Football
and Basketball tournament will be
organized (basket ball for Girls and Football for
boys) with the help of local football players of
Kathmandu district.

The outcome of the city will help the budding
researchers in the field of disaster
management
to design their intervention
program.

For regular monitoring, review and assessment of the
progress, program coordinators will take necessary
initiatives.

Progress/financial reports and monitoring visits will
be taken as means of verification for tracking the
progress of the Project.



The report will cover the planned versus actual outputs, results
and achievements, learning, and challenges.
The report will also include reflections from evaluations
carried out and perspectives from children.
