Ensuring Inclusion in Rural Nepal.
In Nepal, dropout rates for girls are concerning, with only 65% completing primary education compared to 75% of boys*. To address this, we prioritise inclusivity in our programs, fostering welcoming educational environments for all children, regardless of gender or background. Our initiatives focus on supporting diverse learning needs and creating a sense of belonging, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive.
