1. Educational Sponsorship
We enable children in rural Nepal to attend school
Our educational sponsorship program helps children from low-income families to fund their school attendance. Many children are unfortunately denied the opportunity to attend school and thus their right to education due to the poverty of the family. For 20 € a year a child can attend school with all materials needed.
2. Extracurricular offers for children and adults
Homework support and recreational education
We employ college students and teachers in our tutoring centers in the project villages. In example, low-achieving students receive free tutoring lessons near their home. Furthermore, FoC-Nepal funds leisure-time educational offerings in the centers to provide the children opportunities for fun and games in addition to learning and working in the fields.
3. Irregular Projects
Emergency Aid, Advanced Training for teachers, Workshops
Emergencies happen again and again in our project region: people suffer fatalities such as earthquakes, fires, accidents with motorcycles and buses or locally untreatable diseases. In these cases people often rely on financial support.
In addition, FoC-Nepal organizes training courses for teachers that advance non-violent education and the use of effective teaching methods.
Furthermore, we organize workshops for students, in example on the topics of „planning the future“ and „environmental awareness“.
