Like many girls from the poorest Nepalese families, Sunita, works as a live-in domestic servant in the city. She is just nine years old.
With her mother unable to feed or school her, Sunita's family hoped she would have a better future in the home of a rich employer. It's a myth that many poor families cling to in the impoverished villages.
On call 24 hours a day, Sunita looks after a three-year-old child, cleans the house and does whatever her employer requests of her. She is one of millions of children across the world employed as domestic servants. Most are extremely isolated and have no means of going to school, which traps them into poverty. Many are physically and verbally abused.
However, thanks to Sport Relief cash, Sunita now has protection, care and a fighting chance at a better life. Supported by a social worker who negotiates with her employer to ensure she is safe, Sunita now gets a daily break from her duties to attend lessons and play.
The organisation works with the government and police to make sure employers take responsibility for protecting working children from abuse.
Sunita now feels she's in safe hands. "I like the care I get from the social workers and the methods they use to teach us. They make it fun as well as learning."
Run a UK call centre? A number of amazing companies make a huge difference to Sport Relief (and have a great time along the way) by offering their call centres to help us take the donations that change lives. If you’d like to join them, now’s the perfect time to apply.
Susan, friend Gayle and their little boys Ethan and David did the Mile in Edinburgh in 2010, raising an impressive £170 in the process.
£70 could provide a safe after-school environment where 35 young people, living in a disadvantaged community in the UK, can go to play football without fear of gang violence.
