Glue sniffing street kids of Kathmandu [05:06]
Life is not easy for street children in Nepal. They have usually taken to the streets because of a violent father or extreme poverty at home. Almost 90 per cent of the street children in Nepal are boys. Girls are few in number and their task is usually to take care of the youngest ones. In a traditional society like Nepal, girls are, however, sent to serve as maids in rich households. They may also live at home farming and doing household chores until they are married, which in the countryside may take place before they turn fifteen.
