Call for donations for children’s education in Nepal
The HRWF/Nepal team helps children who are living in poverty. In Nepal, the school dropout rate is 35%. However, in rural areas like the ones that HRWF/Nepal works in, this rate nearly doubles to over 60%. HRWF/Nepal distributes education materials to decrease this dropout rate.
This programme has reached around 1000 students so far this year. Any contribution enables the HRWF/Nepal team to continue their important work!
