PROGRAM OVERVIEW

One of the major challenges in Nepal is the lack of access to quality education, hindering people from acquiring the skills needed for employment and breaking the cycle of poverty.

Local schools suffer from underfunding, limited hands-on learning (with rote-learning being the prevalent method), and English—a critical subject for advancing to high school and university—is frequently taught by teachers who are not fluent in the language.

This is where YOU come in...
