F.a: No Child Left Behind

The communities in the region are poor, marginalised and politically unstable. Education and skill levels are low and child labour and child marriages are common. School dropout-count is high. The earthquake of 2014 caused massive infrastructural destructi on in some areas (e.g. schools were destroyed) and significantly weakened the income of families. Education can bring hope and open possibilities for children, youth and the communities. The project has improved 19 state schools’ teaching by providing su pport for teaching, materials and teaching facilities. The project has supported youth through vocational course centres’ training. Especially challenged communities’ girls have been given preparing education, which enables a later transition to a norm al primary school. Equivalent work will continue in 2016. The project is expected to improve vulnerable children’s, youth’s and communities’ quality of life. The purpose is to increase the knowledge and skill levels of communities, where the project acts (in Bhaktapur, Sarlah and Rukum). The project results in children’s improved primary education and youth’s vocational skills in the project area. Beneficiaries of the project are children, youth, their parents and teachers. Fida partners with a lo cal NGO, Transformation Nepal (TFN).
