Our Mission
Our mission is to empower disadvantaged girls to become well-educated, self-sufficient members of Nepali society, thus breaking generations long cycles of poverty and gender-inequality.
Our vision is to see our graduates contribute to a better Nepal, working to improve the lives of those in their home communities and across Nepal.
Your Support
We currently care for 28 girls year round. Since our founding in 2006, we have raised over 40 children from early childhood, seeing over 10 children graduate from class 10 with top SEE marks (the SEE is the Nepali national board exam required for higher education).
Our work is only possible through the sustained financial support of international donors. 100% of your donations go towards providing the day-in, day-out necessities — rent, clothing, fresh fruits, grains and vergetables, school fees and supplies, transportation, healthcare, and staff salaries — essential for their development.
