The Network for Children Prisoners and Dependents (NCPD)
Established in August 2002, the Network for Children Prisoners and Dependents (NCPD) unites organizations focused on supporting prisoners in Nepal, particularly their dependent children. The International Child Resource Institute (ICRI) played a significant role in its formation and continues to assist in its development.
NCPD and its member organizations aim to empower prisoners and their children to build meaningful, dignified lives. They collaborate by exchanging information, ideas, resources, and expertise.
NCPD's mission is to alleviate the suffering of children of prisoners and dependents, aiming to transform prisons into rehabilitative environments. The network strives to enhance the quality of life for these children, fostering their potential through networking, advocacy, and program development.
Managed by a small secretariat and coordinated by a designated individual, NCPD communicates with members and supporters, offering advice and coordinating overall strategies. This includes program planning, implementation, monitoring, and resource sharing.
