Forget Me Not
Forget Me Not works in Nepal, India and Uganda, building brighter futures for children by giving families every opportunity of staying together.
Forget Me Not exists to prevent children and young people around the world from being displaced through investing in programs that keep children within their families and out of institutions. According to Forget Me Not, more than 80 per cent of children in orphanages in the developing world are not orphans. Research shows that these children are taken from their families, trafficked into orphanages and used to generate funds. Forget Me Not tackles this problem holistically through focussing on 5 key areas; Prevention, Rescue, Reunification, Advocacy and Research.
2021 Pitch
Funds Raised: $79,020
At the TFN Live Event on 12 August 2021, CEO Andrea pitched for funding to trace, reunify and reintegrate trafficked children with their families, as well as close orphanages in Nepal.
The Impact…
The funds raised at TFN have meant that FMN has been able to safely reunify and reintegrate 31 children rescued from institutions. In total, seventeen girls and fourteen boys aged from 9 to 14 years old returned home to their families. FMN has been there providing support from the transition and continues to offer ongoing support to the entire family to contribute to the to the healing process of safety, stability and self-determination.
