Our Work
The Brick Children School charity provides an education for 200 children who live with their migrant families in temporary huts on a brick factory site near Kathmandu. These children work alongside their parents making 1000 or more bricks a day for around £2 to £3.
History
In March 2000 Denbighshire education officer David Phoenix visited Nepal where he witnessed hundreds children alongside their parents on the Kathmandu brickfields making bricks by hand. They were living and working in the most appalling conditions. David soon discovered that there was no provision for educating these children and decided on returning to the UK to launch an appeal to raise funds to improve the lives of the ‘brick children’ as they were soon known.
