A child’s chance to learn should not depend on whether their family can afford the essentials.

I’m Edward Sczudlo, founder of The Maitri Project. We are raising $25,000 to support students at Anandakuthi School in rural Nepal, where children from underserved families learn academics alongside meditation and well-being.

Maitri helps support tuition, school supplies, technology, and basic educational needs. Through our work with the school, donors have already helped fund 25 full school years. This campaign will help continue that support and give more students the stability and resources they need to participate in school.

Your contribution will support educational needs through The Maitri Project’s relationship with Anandakuthi School. The $25,000 goal is a fundraising target for this effort; the number of students and school years it can support will depend on actual costs and priorities confirmed with the school.

This is an organizer-managed fundraiser for The Maitri Project. Funds received will be directed through Maitri toward support for Anandakuthi students. Meet the communities we work with at https://themaitriproject.com/#story-school

One act of kindness can travel further. If this cause speaks to you, please give an amount that feels right, or share this fundraiser with one person who cares about education and essential learning resources for Anandakuthi students. Add a sentence about why the cause matters to you, so your friends hear your own voice. Giving is optional; sharing is another way to help.
