Project - A WAITING SMILE

"Spreading smiles through an opportunity for learning and discovering creativity"

Starting Year- 2020 The education system in Nepal is still in the phase of improvement and growth. Currently, this sector has seen some major development and expansion but due to hurdles like lower socio-economic condition, geographical difficulties, the quality of education is still not up to mark. Many underprivileged students suffer due to these constraints; they are deprived of even basic study materials when in need- which further demotivates them from the whole study process. Our project “Pratichhit muskan” translated as ‘Awaiting Smile’ aims to minimize students’ turnover due to the unavailability of study materials on time while also helping to enhance the quality of education they are getting. We will provide quality study materials like pens, copies, books, bags to needy students to promote faster and effective learning while aiding their academic activities and performance. Selected study materials are provided to students according to their needs and interests which are identified through workshops, interviews with the students and/or teachers, etc.

BOOK GIFT PROJECT

book gift projects

We started the first activity for this project in collaboration with a youth group  based in Sarlahi, Malangwa called ‘We Care We Can’. They had been conducting coaching classes for children from poor economic backgrounds and marginalised groups to help them improve their academics. However, with the surge of Covid-19 around the world and the imposition of lockdown in Nepal, the classes had to be put in a standstill. So, we collaborated with ‘We Care We Can’ to provide an alternative way to help the children carry on their learning process. We supported children from grade 5 to 10 by providing them with 200 story books to promote self learning and emphasize outdoor learning.
