Development projects in Nepal

We are seeking to start our second program to help children living in poverty; kids that have only the rote learning of school and little stimulation or adult support within their home or institution. The School+Plus program is a proven approach to developing and empowering kids; it provides two hours of daily tutoring, art and music classes, regular health check-ups, and daily nutritious meals, in a caring and loving environment. And we're planning Adult Literacy Classes to help families.

The cost for one pack of sanitary-pads is $0.75. This is the equivalent for rice, sufficient to feed one family for a day. Millions of the poorest girls and women in Nepal can simply not afford to buy them. In our villages, women and girls are using old rags, which is causing disease. Besides this during their monthly cycles women are considered impure and it is for these reasons that many girls are forgoing school during their period. We'd like to provide pads for 500 adolescents for 5 years.

In Nepal 43 percent child population are under the age of 16 year (CBS 2018). Among them 1.6 mi children are still onto the work for their day to day survival. Majority of these children are deprived from basic education and could not go to schools. Enrollment in schools for the deprived community is still being a dream for these working children. If we could enroll the child workers in schools we can easily eradicate problem of child labour in Nepal. Nepal's laws strictly prohibit child labour.
