Amrita’s Children
Supporting Children and Helping to Overcome Obstacles to Learning in Nepal
Amrita and children
School Nepal was founded by Amrita Arjyal, a woman born in Nepal, who studied in Russia and taught children in the United States. Amrita returned to her home country, to find that many children were unable to receive even the most basic schooling, and if they did, did so without food or adequate clothing. Amrita The sole purpose is to nourish and nurture children to become the future of Nepal.
The mission of School Nepal is to work for needy, poor children who can’t afford to go to school. The mission is to provide education to those children whose families can’t afford to send their children to school and forced to do child labor, if a girl then often forced to get married at a very young age. We feel very strongly that every child should have an education, so that they can grow up to be responsible, independent citizens.
We strongly feel that children must get basic education, they are the future of our world, and getting education is strongly linked to improved standards of economic, social and health development in both individuals and communities. However, many children, especially girls and children from poor families do not get the opportunity to attend school, because parents can’t afford to pay to school expenses often and children from poor families are forced to do child labor to support the family, and girls without good education are often forced to get married at a very young age.
This project was started in 2008 as a non profitable, charitable organization. School Nepal has only one goal to give poor children a brighter future by sending them to school and helping them to become independent members of our society. Future of our world depends on them. It has seven members in the board. It is registered with the Chief District Office of Kathmandu.
About 30 children are getting benefit from this organization now. The organization currently provides help to children to go to school, help to grow and help to have a lively childhood. Right now this organization is working in two cities (mostly in Kathmandu and Biratnagar), but in future we have also a plan to extend it in other cities.
We personally meet and choose children who will benefit most from your sponsorship. The children may be in orphanages or they may have families. Either way, we intend to become deeply involved with their education, their progress, and other aspects of their lives; doing our best to make sure that they prosper. If you would like, we will send you information on the child; with photo, background information, and report card. And if you ever come to Nepal to visit, you could meet the child and see how much of a difference you have made in his or her life. The child you help will smile every day, as going to school would be nothing short of a dream come true for them.
