Aastha Baniya (6, in blue) plays with her cousins as their aunt works in the farm near their temporary home in Chautara, Sindhupalchowk, Nepal on 29 June 2015. The three girls lost their mother during the April 25th earthquake that completely levelled their house. Aastha was buried under the rubble together with her mother but Aastha survived. As their father Ratna Baniya (28) cannot care for the children on his own, SOS Childrens Villages has since been supporting the grandmother with financial and social support so that she can manage to raise the children comfortably and ensure that they will all be schooled.
