Our Aim

Building bright futures: Health and education for Nepal's youth

We are dedicated to empowering the children of Nepal by supporting their health, education, and overall well-being. Our goal is to provide them continuous access to quality education, while strengthening their confidence. We strive to promote health and balanced nutrition, demonstrating the vital role it plays in their growth and learning.

Through hands-on experiences with healthy food and raising awareness about sustainable food systems and the interconnectedness of health, nutrition, and farming, we aim to inspire young minds to recognize the impact of mindful choices.

Situation in Nepal

Tackling nutritional deficiencies and other interconnected issues in the rural communities

In Nepal, school uniforms are mandatory for attending public schools, but their cost can be prohibitive for many families, particularly in rural and impoverished areas. By providing school uniforms, we help remove this financial barrier, motivating parents to send their children to school. A new set of clothes—often the only one a child receives all year—also restores their self-respect and sense of belonging.

In addition to providing uniforms, raising awareness about health, nutrition, and sustainable farming is crucial. Knowledge in these areas is limited, especially in rural Nepal. For example, nutritional deficiencies and seasonal famine are still significant in remote regions. Elsewhere, overuse of cheap processed food contributes to an increase in related diseases, e.g. diabetes and heart diseases. By offering early awareness sessions, we aim to foster lasting positive change in both personal health and community practices.

How we work

Delivering healthy school packs to Nepal's children

The Education Packs are designed to promote health, education, and well-being of the children. Each pack includes:

  • New school clothes, such as uniforms, sweaters, or shoes, tailored to individual needs.
  • A health, nutrition, and farming awareness session, teaching the link between health, food, and sustainable agriculture to inspire better choices.
  • A nutritious breakfast featuring bakery products made from vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and natural sweeteners, creating a positive connection to healthy food.

Our projects are based on surveys, close collaboration with public schools and Gokarneshwor municipality, and regular health camps and counseling. This has deepened our understanding of the community’s needs.
