Transforming Lives through Education. Helping our children to achieve their dreams! Give a Child the gift of education with a generous donation today.
Education has the power to change people’s lives. We believe education is necessary for societies and people in those societies to thrive. Education opens the door to prospect jobs, opportunities for advanced education and careers. This belief drives us to support education through tuition grants, scholarships for higher education, textbook and educational materials purchases, teacher/tutor salaries or incentive support and other aid.
Major projects under our Education Programme are: 1. Providing School Materials Support for underprivileged, marginalized & ultra-poor students (From Initial Level Class to standard 10) 2. Support for Tuition classes (additional classes) in the community for quality education 3. Library support to government schools 4. Health Monitoring and School Meals for poor and malnourished students 5. Onward education counselling sessions and providing Scholarships to brilliant and prospering students for higher education 6. Formation of Children’s Clubs: To Discuss on Right to Education

In the initial phase of our Education Programme implementation, we will start with two project activities - supporting needy students with educational materials and providing tuition classes & educational fee to ultra-poor, underprivileged, marginalized students. 1. Providing School Materials Support for underprivileged & ultra-poor students (From Initial Level Class to standard 10) 2. Support for Tuition classes (additional classes) in the community
If you share our belief, give generously so we can start and continue funding education for disadvantaged, poor and most backward children of Nepal. The overall objective of Education Programme is to improve the educational status of poor children and adolescents. The specific objectives of the programme are to initiate the community to advocate for support and education of poor children/student, to increase the enrolment of students in school, to increase the access of poor children to education, to change the life condition of poor children through education and to empower the households of poor children economically. Finally this will contribute to achieve Sustainable development goal (SDG -3) target- Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning.
