Children in Nepal are orphaned and abandoned for various reasons poor socio-economic status, domestic violence, untimely demise of their parents and natural disasters are the main, amongst others. Unfortunately, thousands of these children are forced to adopt the very miserable life as a street-children ("KHATE"), thereby becoming quite vulnerable to drugs, trafficking, exploitation and other criminal activities, or to end up as domestic slaves.

SON is registered at the District Administration Office (DAO), the District Children Welfare Committee (DCWC), the District Development Committee (DDC) and the Social Welfare Council (SWC).
