Maiti Nepal is a non-governmental Organisation founded by Anuradha Koirala in 1993 together with a group of professional social workers. The main objectives of the Association are to defend the rights of women who are victims of sexual exploitation and domestic violence, fight against child labour and every kind of abuse. The greatest challenge the Organisation has to face is to save young children who have been forced into prostitution by putting them into safe homes and helping them find alternative work.
