Dear Supporters,
We are thrilled to share the latest progress from our project, Gift a Year of Elementary School to Nepal Children. While we continue to work towards our 2024 grant goal, we are proud to report that your generous donations have provided scholarships to help dozens of Nepalese children stay in school and pursue their dreams.
Our Impact
Every month, Women for Conservation partners with Birds Nepal to provide scholarships to students most in need. The scholarship funds help them have a better learning experience. Over the past year, donors like you have enabled us to provide small scholarships in 12 different schools located around Nepal's most precious biodiversity nature reserves. These scholarships have provided shoes, books, and other essential supplies to dozens of poor students, keeping them in school while promoting a love for wildlife conservation.
Testimony from scholarship recipient, Shesh Tharu
"Hi, my name is Shesh. I am studying in grade 8 in Kumarwarti School. I am from the poorest marginalized community, and my family could not support any further education. I am very much thankful to Women for Conservation and Birds Nepal for providing me this scholarship. I am very much motivated in conservation, especially preserving birdlife. After I got this scholarship, I was a top student on an exam."
Shesh's story is a testament to the transformative power of education and conservation. Thanks to your support, he and many other children like him are now equipped with the knowledge and motivation to excel academically and contribute positively to their communities.
Join Us in Making a Difference As we strive to reach our 2024 grant goal, we invite you to continue supporting this life-changing program. Your contributions directly impact the lives of children like Shesh, providing them with the opportunity to stay in school, learn, and grow into future conservation leaders. Together, we can empower more children, foster sustainable livelihoods, and create a brighter future for communities in Nepal.
Thank you for believing in the power of education and conservation. We hope you enjoy the attached photos of some of our greatful scholarship recipients.
With gratitude, The Women for Conservation Team
