Ensuring Equitable Access to Education in Rural Nepal.
Access to education in rural Nepal is severely unequal, with only 55% of children enrolled in early childhood education and alarmingly high dropout rates, particularly among girls in secondary school, due to geographical, cultural, and financial barriers*. In response, we build schools in remote areas, collaborate with local communities, and provide financial support to ensure that all children have access to inclusive education, regardless of their circumstances.

Quality Education
In rural Nepal, approximately 50% of students fail to meet academic standards in Nepali, English and Mathematics, revealing significant challenges in teacher quality and training*.
Building Sustainable Communities
The Sustainable Development Goals emphasise the need for community-driven solutions in rural education, especially in skill development and vocational training to enhance self-sufficiency and economic stability.*
