Our Programs
We live out our mission through our programs, helping children reach their unique potential.
We serve children and young adults from 4 to 27 years old, spending time getting to know each child, meeting parents/guardians and understanding the child’s home situation. First, children in our programs must qualify as economically in need, according to government documentation. Then, with input from family, teachers and counselors, we evaluate and determine which school setting will be best. All the schools we work with are private and teach English, which is important for success in any career field. Some of our children need more academically-oriented programs while others need more technical, diverse, or special education. Some children need boarding school for structure, safety or well-being as the family cannot take care of them. Therefore, we match our children with schools that meet their individual needs and will help them become independent, self-sufficient adults. We support each child for an average of 14 years.
Interested in supporting us? Our programs rely on sponsorship. We foster connections between our sponsors and their sponsored children through letters twice per year, and every one of your sponsorship dollars go to our programs for children in Nepal. Learn more about our sponsorship process.
