Project Report | Feb 9, 2016
The schools are re-opened

By Krit Sharma | Project Leader

The strikes in Nepal is still ongoing and it is unlikely that it will end soon. People’s life is severely affected across the country. Basic supplies such as gas and medicine are stilled blocked by the protesters. However, schools and some local businesses are allowed to open in the mornings. So our girls are back to school with some cautions.


We provided a sweater, pair of shocks and slippers to all the girls in the scheme because it is winter in Nepal and its pretty cold in the mornings and evenings. So, our girls were struggling to go to school in cold without sufficient clothes. More information about this activity will be included in the next report.


The extra tuition classes that we have been providing to every girl in the scheme during the closure of schools is now limited to girls in secondary school only. This is because very few girls from poor and Dalit families are reaching to final year of secondary school in the community. Poor quality of teaching in schools, comparatively behind in study and unable to afford extra tuition support are some of the reasons behind this. We are hopeful that this will help those girls to reach to the final year of secondary school and further on.


In summary, we are supporting 101 girls from the poorest of the poor and Dalit families in the three panchayats through this project and 19 of the girls are in secondary school. Total annual cost to keep these girls in school is £4,545 (on average £45 per girl per year). We have raised £8,261 from GlobalGiving since we have started to fundraise in June 2013. On average £2,754 per year which is not sufficient to support all the girls in the scheme.


In order to support all the girls, we need at least 40 supporters to back up this project by giving £4/$6 per month or £45/$70 annually. Please sponsor a girl today by giving regularly. To give regularly, please look out for ‘monthly recurring’ on the project page at GlobalGiving or visit our website (nvf.org.uk).


Thank you for believing in our project and your support
