Help fund schools for vulnerable children in Nepal
Donation protected
Hi everyone :),
I’m raising money for Street Child in Nepal. Back in April 2015, Nepal suffered a catastrophic earthquake which damaged or destroyed more than 50,000 classrooms and left over a million children out of school. As a result, Street Child launched in Nepal in 2015 in partnership with UNICEF to help rebuild schools in the communities worst-affected by the earthquake.
ALL donations will go towards helping children into education through support such as paying school fees, buying uniforms and learning materials, training teachers or refurbishing classrooms and building schools.
To note, I have pledged to the “Count Me In” appeal. If I reach my fundraising target by the 14th April, the UK Government will match this amount - bringing the total donation to a whopping £3,000 (the equivalent of 2 new schools)!
On a personal note, I will be going to Kathmandu for 3 months in July to provide research support for two projects: helping the most marginalised Muhasar girls into education (currently have a 4% literacy rate) & out of bonded labour and helping children in brick families go back to school (investigating education opportunities for migrant workers’ communities).
Please join me in making an impact. Together we can help empower children through education and grant them a better and brighter future.
Thank you in advance for your contribution. Happy to answer any questions!

About Street Child’s projects in Nepal
The Musahar caste in Nepal is among the world’s most politically marginalised, economically exploited, and socially humiliated groups, ranked 140 out of 141 castes by the United Nations Human Development Index. 99.4% of the people are landless and born into debt. Street Child’s three-year project with Department for International Development is catered towards 3000 out of school girls aged 15-18, and will target 240 Musahar villages in three of the ten least educated districts in Nepal.
Since 2016, Street Child have also been scaling up construction and operations of Brick Kilns preparatory schools which aim at building and operating free schools that deliver a tailored and condensed curriculum for children of migrant communities that live and work in brick factories. To date, Street Child have constructed six schools in six brick factories and reached 175 children with an aim to reach more in future.
