"Support-A-Child" Help Child Go To School & Study

Because of your support, 47 students studying in 8 different schools were saved from being dropped out from their school in this fiscal year. These students from grade 6 to 8 were identified and selected by the members of children club being operated in the school. Due to poor economic condition, these students were about to drop their schools as they were not being able to fulfil their need of school tuition fees and stationary. All the students were provided a set of stationary, books and partial tuition fees to their schools.

To increase your support, 63 youths had joined our hands in “Support-A-Child” campaign. They organized one day hiking program on October 6^th so as to raise funds for the campaign and support scholarship.

We seek your support to bring more impact in the life of these students studying in rural areas. You can increase your impact in “Support-A-Child” Campaign through donating in October 17^th, 12:00 Noon EST onwards Global Giving bonus day. Global Giving is providing 30% matching bonus up to US $ 50,000. Hence, we would like to request you to circulate this message within your friends and family so that we could be able to change the life of these students.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to all our supporters, well-wisher and partners of Global Giving. We would also like to receive your feedback and suggestions in coming days ahead.

In the fiscal year 2011/12. ECCA provided 162 Scholarship to 16 community school students of Lalitpur district. To measure the effectiveness and benefits created by the scholarship program. consultation and feedbacks were collected from the school personals. The school’s official consisted of teachers facilitating the Nature Club, principal and vice principals. Upon evaluation, it was found that the students who have received the scholarship have started showing progress in their study along with the affinity towards extracurricular activities.

Mr. Hem Chandra Raigai (nature club mentor teacher of Yashodhara Bauddha Secondary School) stated that students have been motivated by the support and are concentrated towards their studies. Likewise teachers of Minnath lower Secondary School and Tri-ratna Cooperative School; Ms. Kalpana Kyastha, Principal and Mr. Krishna Man Maharjan; Vice-Principal respectively told that the students who used to spend their time on helping their families to generate income so that they could afford their studies and studying materials now have started capitalizing their free time for learning new things and doing the nature club activities. Engagement in the nature club has raised their understanding regards to the environment conservation and has led them for their personality development. The students have realized the power of team work, communication and leadership skills and know how needed for their well being in this competitive world.

“We are proud of our student as they have identified the growth path for themselves and even have paved the way for other students interested in similar kind of activities. Over all the school is getting showcased as the second home of these active students in the community and the reputation is created amongst the competitive private schools”, they further added.
