The Girls Education Project in Rural Nepal

As mentioned in the last report that eighteen of our sponsored girl took the final Secondary Education Examination (SEE), the result is out. Only two of the girls have passed the exam and they are in registration process to study higher secondary education. The remaining sixteen girls are re-taking the exam from today as a second change in hope that they may pass. Similarly, four of our sponsored girls took the final higher secondary education exam and two of them have passed.

The government data shows that only 52% of students have passed the SEE exam this year and, it has raised a serious concern about the quality of education in the country. Considering the result at national levels, our girls have not obtained a good result. But our girls are from poor and Dalit family, attend community school which is mainly for poor people and they do not have help and support at home like others. So, we have to be happy that at least they attempted the exam and gained a level of reading and writing skills.

To begin the new curriculum year, we have been proving a fresh set of study materials, school bag and a bicycle to the new comers. So far in this year, we have provided 12 new bicycles, 950 notebooks, 450 pen and pencils, 60 Geometry box, 60 calculator, 60 School bag and paid registration and exam fees. School attendance of the girls in the last three month also looks satisfactory and working even harder to improve it.

Please keep supporting us by donating whatever you can afford so that we can continue the support to the existing girls and sponsor more.    

Dear supporters, we would like to share the great joy with you that eighteen of our girls participated in the Secondary Education Examination (SEE) last week. SEE examination is a final examination in the secondary school system of Nepal which is being taken by National Examination Board. The examination is very important because grades obtained in the examination determines what faculty is allowed to study further. All other girls have also participated in the final examination of the year. Results of the examinations will be out by end of the July.

Currently, there are eighty-two girls in the education scheme, and some new girls will be joining the scheme as well as some will be leaving. Over the next month, we will make sure that every girl will be equipped with a new set of study materials and the new comers will also get a bicycle.

Some of you may know Jill Jerram because she had been supporting the girl’s education project ever since we started. In co-operation with Jill’s family, we are organizing a memory walk to remember her on Saturday the 27^th of April 2024. We have planned to start the walk at the London Eye at 11:30am and, ends at her new tree that has been planted and dedicated to memory of Jill in Southwark Park at 13:30pm. We will walk along the River Thames Path and after the walk, we will head to a local pub called ‘The Ship” for a drink and sandwiches to remember and celebrate her amazing generosity. You can join us at any time anywhere along the route or even at the park or at the pub. Please do consider to sponsor the walk by making a donation in memory of Jill. Thank you for your generosity in advance.
