Securing a brighter future for children in remote Himalayan communities
Our mission by 2030 is to ensure access to education for all children in the remote Kanchenjunga and Indrawati communities of Nepal. We believe having children in school is the best way to break the illiteracy-poverty cycle and counter the risk of child trafficking. Our work also extends to health and livelihood improvement activities in order to give parents the capacity to send their children to school. We are a small and passionate team, dedicated to working in very remote Himalayan areas that large-scale organisations overlook.
Education
Education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty and providing a foundation for sustainable development.
Livelihood
Helping families generate a sustainable living means better nutrition, greater prosperity, and children in school.
Health
We work closely with communities to provide healthcare services and health education.

Communities
Our flagship undertaking is with the Ghunsa Village community. We aim to improve education standards for the local children, with healthcare and basic infrastructure improvements to enable this to occur, while being mindful of the need for both conservation and economic development.

Indrawati
Since 2016 we have been working with communities in the Indrawati region which borders Tibet seven hours north of Kathmandu. This remote and poverty-stricken part of Nepal was hit very hard by the 2015 earthquakes. We are helping to improve health and living standards so that families are strong enough to support their children’s education.
