In today’s world of operating a not for profit organization we have found that there is an over saturation when it comes to asking for donations. Our donors and supporters want to feel that they have given their hard earned money to something that will have long term, life changing benefit.

Thus we have formulated the “Adopt a Project” set of initiatives in which we have targeted a range of high need tangible items that reflect our approach as an organization to aid and educational development in Nepal. Our focus fields:

• Child Education
• Teacher Training
• Parental and Community Education

Items (at a variety of costs) we need within our school project that donors whether they be individuals, offices, school P& C’s or organizations can put their finance to either big or small and know they are changing lives and futures.

So come on have a read of these package options below and adopt one of these projects and change a Nepali child’s future forever. We have tax deductible status so it’s that much more of an incentive.
