We started after the 2015 earthquake, and we kept going

In 2015 a huge earthquake hit Nepal. Sindhupalchowk was one of the worst-hit districts. We collected some money and went to visit the villages around Chautara.

We met many children who had lost their families and were now living with relatives. Some of these relatives were so poor that the children were not going to school, even though a year at a government school cost only about 3,000 rupees at the time.

The money we had collected was not much, so we decided to use it for what mattered most: paying for these children to go to school.

At first we helped only children affected by the earthquake. Then the village leaders in Chautara and the school headmaster told us that many organisations were already helping earthquake victims, while other poor and orphaned children were getting no help at all.

So we changed. Since then we have supported any child who needs help to stay in school, whether or not the earthquake affected them.
