Through Educate the Children ’s sponsorship programs, you can become a partner in lasting change for Nepal. Educate the Children offers two types of sponsorship: Child and School Sponsorship and Women’s Group Sponsorship. Sponsors can be individuals, families, groups of friends, clubs, classes or book groups. Sponsors receive photos, letters and annual progress reports, and may correspond with their child or group.
In rural Nepal, many families cannot afford to send their children to school—and the schools themselves are badly in need of repair. Educate the Children works to create school environments that foster learning, and provide teachers with essential training and resources. Your support will help Educate the Children: Provide scholarships to the children of poor and marginalized communities; establish kindergarten classes and other pre-primary education programs; improve school buildings; and train teachers in creative, age-appropriate pedagogy.
When you sponsor a child’s education, a village school will blossom.
Educate the Children helps women to improve their own lives, claim a space in the public sphere, and create positive change in their communities. Women’s groups are the heart of social change. In basic literacy classes members form close bonds that strengthen as they learn about and celebrate their rights. Over time, groups merge to form cooperatives that take on the work of development. New leaders and new organizations are born, fueling economic growth and community well-being long after Educate the Children’s work is complete.
By sponsoring a women’s group, you open doors for an entire community.
