Current Projects

Ongoing running costs of Shree Nubri School in Ghap. This includes teacher’s salaries and boarding facilities for the students.
Sponsoring 2 students to go through further higher education in Kathmandu.
Provide an electric cooking stove for the school kitchen to replace the current wood-burning model. This will reduce deforestation in the local area and improve the air quality in the kitchen and dining area. Free hydroelectric electricity is provided to the school by a local NGO, making this a sustainable option for the future of the school.
