Introduction:

In the face of great need, we propose to open and operate a new school in Kathmandu, Nepal. This school will provide up to 60 students with four daily classes in: Nepalese language, English language, Mathematics, and Personal Hygiene.

Background:

Nepal is a landlocked country located just North of India. The country’s population of just over 27 million people is made up of many religious and cultural groups including Hindus, Buddhists, and Muslims. A country of beautiful tolerance, it is also “…among the poorest and least developed countries in the world with 42% of its population living below the poverty line.” Part of the reason behind this poverty is a lack of educational opportunities. In Nepal, illiteracy stands at 55% and unemployment at a staggering 47%.

Budget:

Please note that 100% of all money collected for this project will go directly towards:
• Leasing property in Katmandu
• Building necessary facilities
• Providing educational materials and instruction
• Providing school uniforms
• Providing daily meals
• Building playground equipment
