Changing lives

One community at a time!

First Steps Himalaya improves early years education in rural schools in Nepal and builds resilience of entire communities.


All over Nepal, children are receiving sub-standard education in dilapidated classrooms from untrained and demotivated teachers.

This poor education leaves the children with limited life skills, vulnerable to exploitation and very likely to be stuck in a cycle of poverty and limited opportunities.

We want to break that cycle and provide opportunities to these children to change their future through a quality education.

 

We are working in almost 100 village classrooms across rural Nepal...

…but we’re only just scratching the surface!

 

Help us expand even further, to improve the quality of education in villages all across Nepal.

Through teacher training, classroom refurbishment, supplying educational materials, ongoing monitoring and support we are transforming lives.
