“The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows”
– Sydney J. Harris
Vidya Nepal
We believe education will save the world. When you educate a child, you make an investment in the fight against poverty, hunger, child mortality, gender inequality, overpopulation, and the global climate crisis.
When the world is facing an existential threat, education isn’t a nice to have, it’s a moral imperative.
In partnership with the Children’s Aid Center, a Nepali NGO, we are raising funds to support secondary education (grade 6-10) for students at Shree Ram Secondary School in Koshidekha, Kavre District (about 3 hours drive from Kathmandu, Nepal), a school supported by the community and generous donations from various NGOs and INGOs. After finishing primary school (grades 1-5), many children do not have the option to continue on to secondary school, due to financial constraints. Without that opportunity, their ability to contribute to their society, and the world at large, is severely limited.
As a small group of inspired change makers, we are looking to direct our resources where they can make the largest impact. Our support is targeted towards families from very poor communities or lower castes that simply cannot afford to send their children to school.
