Hello Playing For Change Family,
Have you ever felt like music saved your life?
Whether it was a touchstone through a difficult time, a way to connect with others, or a means of expressing your deepest self, for many of us music has been a source of great healing and inspiration.
In the most direct and literal way in the remote villages in the Udayapur District of eastern Nepal, drama, song, dance, and music are being used to save the lives of vulnerable children. Here, a small group of determined Nepali women are using music as one tool to educate young girls and their families about sex trafficking, including the ways girls are lured away, and the incredible hardships they endure in the hands of traffickers.

Devi Karki directs the Tintale Village Women’s Alliance, the group that has created these stirring performances. Through your support of the Playing For Change Foundation, you have provided instruments, costumes, funds for travel, and financial assistance to Devi, enabling her to create these performances and deliver them in neighboring villages. 14-year-old Tintale Village student Roma Khadka (below) has dedicated her life to this exceptional cause to save a child.
“We utilize the power of music and dance to ensure that this horror will not happen to any one of the girls we meet. The suffering must stop.”
– Devi Karki
