Unleashing potential: Education without barriers

In Nepal, limited access to quality education perpetuates a cycle of inequality, hindering the potential of underserved children. Many face barriers including financial constraints, lack of educational resources, and limited mentorship. As a result, their school performance and further professional growth are stunted, limiting their ability to break free from the cycle of poverty and reach their full potential. Despite the impressive progress that Nepal has made in the field of assuring education in recent decades, the needs are far from being met. The problems attached to available education are, among others, a shortage of qualified teachers, overemphasis on memorisation, limited access to technology or poorly designed curriculum.

With 40 per cent of the population under the age of 18 years, investing in children and adolescents is important in shaping the national development. Ensuring a positive learning environment and educational support aiming to unlock youth potential is the key to tackling inequalities in the long term.

At the heart of our mission is the belief that every child can achieve success. We promote the idea that kids should be active actors in shaping their own futures, inspiring them to dream big and work towards their goals.

Our Solution

Our approach encompasses a range of strategies and initiatives designed to break down barriers to quality education and foster personal growth. Students in our cohorts receive long-term support with an average of 6 years of assistance.

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to receive a quality education. We provide scholarships to children of unprivileged backgrounds that cover school fees, ensuring that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a child’s learning journey. Our scholarships extend to private schools with a proven track record of delivering high-quality education. We equip students with individualised and necessary educational resources, such as school supplies, uniforms, or access to computer rooms.

To boost self-confidence and foster personal growth, our team regularly meets with the children we support. These mentorship sessions focus on building self-esteem, instilling a growth mindset, and encouraging creativity. We believe that by nurturing young minds, we can help them realise their true potential. We organise events, workshops, and exposure visits, encouraging them to dream big and explore the world of possibilities.

We envision a brighter future where every child can access the education they deserve.

“Before, it was tough to find the money needed for my child’s education. The difficulties that our family faced were due to the health issues of her father. I also had to make a tough decision to leave my work to take care of him and manage the household. Our expectations for our daughter’s education journey were clouded by our low financial status. We were worried she might have to get married early and start doing household chores. Now, we don’t have to worry about paying the school fees, which has relieved a huge burden from our shoulders. She now speaks English confidently and fluently. My expectations for my daughter’s future have changed significantly. I feel like my daughter will be a nurse, as her grades are so impressive. Thanks to the program, we don’t have to worry about one of our kids anymore. The workshops have also brought positive changes to her life, and she gets all the materials she needs for her studies.”
