Dear friends,
We thank you all for your sympathy and for the many messages of concern regarding the safety of the CPCS Centers in Nepal. Through this message, we wish to inform you that the team members, as well as the children and youth under our protection, are safe.

CPCS will certainly provide support to those suffering from this terrible disaster, especially children and their families who have lost their homes, their loved ones, and their livelihoods. At the moment, we are in consultation with other organizations offering assistance, so that our efforts do not overlap.

We will keep you informed. This disaster will have very long‑lasting consequences. So many displaced people, and so many children who have lost their families, homes, and income.

For more information on how to support us, you are invited to visit our website: [www.cpcs.international](http://www.cpcs.international)

CPCS was born in Nepal in 2002, from direct work with children in street situations in Kathmandu. More than two decades later, our roots remain deeply anchored in Nepal, while the CPCS Alliance has grown and our commitment now reaches Burundi, Rwanda, and, through partnerships (LiveLoveDream), Belgium and Ukraine.

Different countries. Different realities. But the same fundamental conviction:

Children have rights. Young people have rights. And turning 18 does not make vulnerability, exclusion or the need for opportunities suddenly disappear.

We speak — rightly — about children's rights. But we must also speak more loudly about young people's rights and the rights of youth.

Too often, adolescents and young adults gradually disappear from protection programmes precisely when they are expected to become independent, find education or employment, access healthcare and housing, and build their place in society.

At CPCS, we refuse to see children and young people simply as "beneficiaries".

They are rights-holders. They have a voice. They have capacities, aspirations and dreams. They must be actors in their own lives.

Our responsibility is to listen, to protect, to accompany, to create opportunities — and above all, to act.

In a world marked by conflict, inequality, poverty and exclusion, defending the rights of children and young people cannot remain a good intention.

It is our duty to act.

And everyone can do something.

🤝 Support a project.
🤝 Introduce us to a potential partner.
🤝 Open a door.
🤝 Talk about CPCS.
🤝 Or simply SHARE THIS POST.

Because one share can create a contact.
One contact can create a partnership.
And one partnership can change lives.

Visit. Share. Connect. Act.

Because children's and young people's rights are not defended by words alone.

They are defended through action.

A representative from the medical component of La Chaîne de l’Espoir, a long-standing partner of CPCS, joined the CPCS team for a field visit to our Regional Office and programmes in Dolakha. The visit provided a valuable opportunity to observe ongoing activities and, above all, to meet children, families, schools, health professionals and local communities directly involved in our programmes.

CPCS and La Chaîne de l’Espoir have been working together for many years around a shared commitment to the rights and well-being of vulnerable children. While our earlier joint initiatives focused primarily on education and access to schooling, our partnership has progressively evolved towards school health, access to healthcare and medical support for children living in vulnerable and precarious situations.

During the visit, particular attention was given to the ongoing school-health activities and to the links established between schools, communities and local health facilities, including the hospital. These programmes aim not only to provide care, but also to strengthen prevention, facilitate the early identification of health problems, and ensure that vulnerable children can access appropriate medical support and follow-up when needed.

The field visit also offered an opportunity for direct exchanges with children, communities and local stakeholders, providing a concrete picture of the progress achieved and the challenges that remain. It highlighted a principle at the heart of CPCS's work: the right to education, the right to health and the broader rights of the child are deeply interconnected. Ensuring that a child can attend school, receive appropriate healthcare and grow up in dignity and safety are complementary dimensions of the same long-term commitment shared by CPCS and La Chaîne de l’Espoir.

CPCS-Tanganyika tient à remercier très chaleureusement l’École Belge Burundi pour son précieux soutien et le don de bancs destinés aux enfants que nous accompagnons.

Nos remerciements vont tout particulièrement à François Rasquin, Chef d’établissement, et à Greg Kamberis, Représentant légal de l’École Belge Burundi, pour cette belle initiative et leur confiance.

Ce partenariat a aussi une dimension toute particulière pour notre équipe : trois membres de CPCS-Tanganyika — Michel, Dominique et Jean-Marie — sont également professeurs au sein de l’École Belge Burundi. Un joli pont entre deux institutions qui partagent une même conviction : l’éducation est l’un des chemins les plus solides vers l’autonomie, la dignité et l’avenir.

Un banc peut paraître être une chose toute simple. Mais pour un enfant, avoir une place où s’asseoir, apprendre, écrire, écouter et rêver est déjà une manière de lui dire : « Ta place est ici. Ton avenir compte. » ❤️

Le droit à l’éducation ne doit jamais dépendre de l’origine d’un enfant, de la situation de sa famille ou des difficultés qu’il rencontre. Chaque enfant doit pouvoir apprendre dans des conditions dignes, protectrices et porteuses d’espoir. Au Burundi comme ailleurs, investir dans l’éducation des enfants, c’est investir dans la génération qui construira le pays de demain.

Merci à toute l’équipe de l’École Belge Burundi (https://ebburundi.org/) d’avoir traduit ces valeurs en un geste concret de solidarité. 🙏

Ensemble, continuons à faire de l’éducation non seulement un droit, mais une réalité pour chaque enfant.

En ce 7 août 2026, CPCS-Africa Rwanda s’est jointe à la grande célébration d’Umuganura, une tradition profondément ancrée dans la culture rwandaise.

Umuganura est un moment privilégié pour rendre grâce pour les fruits du travail accompli, partager les récoltes, remercier et célébrer ensemble. C’est aussi une belle occasion de transmettre aux jeunes générations les valeurs de solidarité, d’entraide et de communauté.

À travers cette célébration, les enfants accompagnés par CPCS-Africa ont découvert et partagé ces valeurs qui continuent de faire vivre la culture et les traditions rwandaises.

Partager les fruits de nos efforts, remercier pour ce que nous avons accompli et avancer ensemble : telle est la richesse d’Umuganura.

Today marks 24 years since a small adventure began.

On 19 July 2002, in Kalanki, on the outskirts of Kathmandu, a tiny night shelter opened its doors to 12 children who survived by collecting plastic, begging, and living on the streets.

None of us imagined where that first step would lead.

Twenty-four years later, CPCS is still standing. Today our work reaches children and young people in Nepal (Kathmandu Valley, Dolakha and Morang), Rwanda, and Burundi, while our sister initiative LiveLoveDream also supports vulnerable communities in Belgium and Ukraine.

Today, across these countries, hundreds of children and young people celebrated the anniversary of their organization—an organization created to stand beside them, protect them, and believe in them.

Over the past 24 years:

Thousands of children, young people and families have received protection, education, rehabilitation, vocational opportunities and hope.
Countless social workers, educators, volunteers and partners have dedicated their hearts to ensuring that every child is treated with dignity.
We have also lost far too many children and young people far too soon. They remain forever part of the CPCS family. They are remembered, they are loved, and they continue to inspire our commitment every single day.

As Janusz Korczak so profoundly reminded us:

"Children are not the people of tomorrow, but people of today."

The world of adults seems increasingly consumed by violence. Across too many regions of our planet, children continue to suffer from war, exploitation, abuse, neglect, trafficking, poverty, forced displacement and injustice.

Wherever these violations occur—regardless of borders, politics, religion or ideology—we condemn them without hesitation.

Every child deserves safety.
Every child deserves protection.
Every child deserves dignity.
Every child deserves a future.

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, ratified by almost every nation on Earth, reminds us that childhood is not a privilege reserved for the fortunate. It is a fundamental right.

Protecting children is not charity.
It is not optional.
It is a moral duty and a legal obligation.

Today, the CPCS family expresses its deepest gratitude to:
❤️ our staff members,
❤️ the Boards of Directors of our different organisations,
❤️ our volunteers,
❤️ our partners/donors,
❤️ our institutional and local partners,
❤️ and every friend who has walked alongside us during these 24 years.

Without you, none of this would have been possible.

The road ahead remains long. The challenges remain immense. But after 24 years, one conviction has never changed:

As long as children are abandoned, abused or forgotten, we will continue to stand beside them.

We will keep protecting.
We will keep advocating.
We will keep believing.
We will keep fighting.

Because every child matters.

Happy 24th Anniversary, CPCS.

The journey continues.
