The flood disaster at the end of August has not only shown that Nepal is severely affected by the climate change. It also made it clear that young people must be prepared for many challenges of our time – in the most practical way.
Space to grow
For that it takes more than conventional education. Children need safe spaces to experience how their actions impact the world around them, and to develop skills to protect their future.
With our winter campaign “1000 Seeds of Change”, we aim at providing this space to children in Nepal. In environmental workshops, they learn about sustainable practices, how they can protect nature and create positive change, seed by seed.
Long-standing collaboration with local schools
We have been supporting public schools in Gorkaneshwor, Kathmandu Valley, for more than 10 years. During that time, thousands of children have benefited and close relationships with schools have developed. We are happy that we could not only grow the extent of our support for each school but also the reach of schools in the community.
This is how your donation can help us to plant the first seeds
This year we provide education support packages consisting of:
 |
Basic education as a foundation: providing winter school clothes to children from underprivileged families, so that they stay warm, healthy and can attend school regularly. In addition, the children receive a healthy breakfast when the school uniforms are distributed, thereby also raising awareness of the importance of a balanced diet in a practical manner. |
| Environmental workshops: giving children the space to analyze and explore the principles of nature and draw their own conclusions — understanding that everything we do affects others and the resources all life depends on. Key to building the healthy habits that enable change. |  |
 |
Transforming schools into spaces for sustainability and climate resilience: together with the schools’ local eco-clubs, we are setting up sustainable school gardens and planting trees in order to inspire youth to be responsible and protect nature, day by day. Schools are supported in creating sustainability management plans that bring education in line with today’s needs. |
To make this possible for 1000 children, we need your support. With 75 EUR, you can help three children access education and the tools to build a brighter future.

On 26 August, flash floods entering from the Tibetan border left a trail of total destruction in central Nepal. Within days of the disaster, we mobilized our international network. Donors and well-wishers answered the call, and together we have already raised 8500 euros for flood relief.
This April, in Ward No. 3 of Gokarneshwor Municipality, a new chapter of Akasha Care officially launched with new prenatal and postnatal care and cervical cancer screenings. Now, it has grown into a program the community can rely on.
