The core challenge

Poverty, remote geography, and entrenched gender roles create immense barriers to education in Nepal. Girls face the additional burden of cultural expectations that keep them out of school, depriving them of the chance to gain the skills they need to contribute meaningfully to their communities. Without access to quality education, the potential for social and economic development remains untapped.

Comprehensive support for Future Leaders

Through the Future Leaders Programme in Nepal, we focus on the most disadvantaged children, providing them with a holistic education that integrates academic learning with leadership development and practical skills. Our programme aims to remove the barriers to education by providing scholarships, emotional support, and vocational training, empowering students to overcome their circumstances and transform their communities.
