Education Support

We help students overcome financial barriers that can interrupt their education, such as school fees, exam fees, and books. Headteachers verify each recipient, and donors receive updates every term.

  • Needs-based support verified by headteachers and ward committees
  • Covers tuition, hostel, lab fees, books, and exam costs
  • Progress updates shared with donors each term

Impact: 100+ students supported since 2023 with 95% year-over-year retention.

Mentorship & Exposure

Weekly calls and career conversations with Nepali mentors who understand the journey. Mentors help students see paths and possibilities beyond their immediate surroundings, and check in on attendance, grades, and goals.

  • Weekly check-ins on attendance, grades, and personal goals
  • Career conversations with Nepali professionals, including in tech
  • Peer study groups and accountability circles

Impact: 40+ mentors volunteering weekly to coach students across Dhading.

Digital Opportunity

Many students in rural communities encounter computers much later than their peers elsewhere. We work with partner schools to give students guided, hands-on time with technology, so they start building digital skills before they leave school.

  • Guided digital learning sessions at partner schools
  • Basic digital skills alongside regular coursework
  • Conversations about technology careers with volunteer mentors

Impact: Structured digital access supported at 10+ partner classrooms since 2023.
