Alternative Care: An Animated Film

Save the Children

 

 

This animated video, produced by Save the Children, tells the story of Suman, a boy whose mother sends him to a care center as she is having difficulty caring for him. The video suggests that the family environment is the best environment for children’s physical, social, and intellectual development and wellbeing. Save the Children urges that the 39,888 children in Nepal without appropriate care should be placed into kinship care or with another family in the same community, rather than in an institution or residential center.
