FROM THE STREETS TO THE FOOTBALL WORLD CUP
What has been your first thought when you have seen a street child? Majority of the people have negative perceptions of these children and are usually presumed to be a threat, a criminal, a thief, untouchable. This is a sad reality and we are working to challenge negative stereotypes of street children and to promote the rights of street children because we believe they are somebody!!
Shelter Ashraya Nepal http://www.shelternepal.org
is a voluntary non-government organization established in 2014 which envisions a society where there are no children left on the street, irrespective of caste, creed, religion and language so that they could lead their faithful and dignified lives. Shelter believes children are at utmost risk of trafficking, abuse, modern-day slavery so it is important to rehabilitate them to a safer place. It is dedicated on reintegration of street children in families along with support for resolving identity crisis and support to attain birth registration, citizenship and preserve other fundamental rights. Shelter uses Sports as the fundamental therapy to help the street children as it gives them the opportunity to be seen and heard.

And Football Changed his life forever !! He became the No 10 Messi
"Shelter Ashraya Nepal" has the honor and privilege of bringing Street Children of Nepal to Moscow, Russia which will be a rare and a lifetime opportunity for them to see the world, show their skills, talents and to speak on behalf of all the children in Nepal. Street Child World Cup uses the power of sport to protect, respect and support street-connected children around the world. It is the right of every child to get an identity, name and to acquire a nationality. Birth registration provides the first legal recognition of the child and is generally required for the child to obtain a birth certificate and as a result any other legal documents like citizenship, passport, property documents etc. Thus, Shelter’s major activity is to lobby for children to attain all their necessary legal documents which will help them in their future endeavour.
Shelter Ashraya Nepal believes that the opportunity of participating in this World Cup should be given to other children of Nepal as well for which we organized a National Street Child Football League (6-8 September 2017) which gave chance to other children living in streets or organizations to participate. Out of the 144 children registered in the league, 14 children did not have the birth registration, it is our main mission to advocate for the rights of street children through the power of Football
It gave them a national platform to present their skills and make their way to the World Cup in Moscow. Shelter Ashraya Nepal could have just taken the children living in Shelter Ashraya Nepal but we wanted to make it inclusive and take it as a national movement to raise more awareness for the rights and protection of these children. The league witnessed huge participation out of which 14 teams made it to the league.
Prayaas / Oceed from Kathmandu secured the third place!!
Nepal Children Organization secured the second place
Three Angels from Pokhara were the champions of the league
From street life to this moment takes a lot of hard work!
Everybody is the champion!!
Three Angels Team from Pokhara
It is unbelievable for many that these were street children not long before and now they are making their country PROUD!! It was pre-decided that it was not the winning team who was representing Nepal in the world cup rather 26 children were selected out of the 144 on the basis of their performance, skills and attitude. Amongst the 26 who made it to the camp, 6 children do not have the birth registration, and it is a challenge to the government and the organizations lobbying for street children to get this issue addressed. The children who dream to raise the country's flag in the World Cup might end because he does not have a registered identity - This is the cause we work for to ensure no child is left behind just because he was abandoned in the street.
26 Selected Players
The selected 26 players are in the selction camp since 23.10.2017 until 10.11.2017, out of the 26 players, 12 will make it to the national team and 9 will make it to the World Cup in Moscow 2018 representing Team Nepal in 2018. The team is made up with 9 players because the World Cup will be 7 a side.
In this journey, All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) of Nepal and National Sports Council has been the main partner and assisted us during the league and the selection camp too.
NATIONAL STREET CHILD FOOTBALL LEAGUE 2017-ROAD TO WORLD CUP SHORT VIDEO
In 2010, First World Cup happened in South Africa and second in Rio, Brazil. In 2018 street children from 22 countries from different continents will come together in Moscow, Russia for the third Street Child World Cup. By taking part in the tournament they will be adding their voices to an international campaign to provide hope for the millions of children who still live or work on the streets.
9 Nepalese street children will participate in the third Street Child World Cup on May 2018 which will kick-off in Moscow ahead of the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018. The power of football will be used to raise awareness and tackle the widespread stigma that street children face around the world and Nepal team will inspire governments and international community through its wonderful game in the world cup. And before they leave after the world cup completion they become ambassadors for street children, both on and off the pitch, sharing their experiences, making recommendations and calling for their rights.

Simultaneously, these children will engage themselves in social, educational and sports activities. They also share their stories and get the lesson learnt from the stories of other street children from different countries.
This project has been designed to have three major positive changes in participating street children. These changes will ultimately lead them to conceptualize of a life of a responsible citizen. It is anticipated that the three obvious impacts are:
1.Strengthening football skills of street children

social norms.

FINANCIAL ASPECTS: WHY WE NEED YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT
WHY £15000?
Shelter Ashraya Nepal is a small non-profit organization which was a major victim of the earthquake in Nepal in May 2015 losing all its property and resources.
http://shelternepal.org/album?album=Rising%20From%20The%20Rubbles
We cannot afford to use our core fund for the World Cup as it could put the future of many children at risk as we have very limited resources to funds. However, we cannot miss this huge opportunity and have been lobbying with many corporate and non-profits to support us in this movement. The funds raised from this campaign will be used as follows:
1.Team sponsorship figure of £7,200 (£600 x 12particpants ) to cover the participation fee which is to be paid to the organizers
Registration fee can be verified with the organizers
https://www.streetchildunited.org/contact-us/
2. The flight costs for the participants to and from Moscow in 2018. (£500 x 12 = 6000)Approx.
3.IDs, passports and visas for the team.
Travel & medical insurance policy for the trip to Moscow( £1800)
The entire logistic cost during the World Cup will be born by the organizers. The remaining cost of the campaigns, the camp, the league, the training, kits are born by Shelter Ashraya Nepal with little support of few organizations and individuals.
When Shelter Ashraya Nepal was selected for the World Cup we were strictly checked upon our Child Protection and safeguarding policy and our Financial, anti-Fraud and Bribery Policy and were given confirmation after we submitted all our documents so we are very keen on these matters.
