Nepal is the third poorest
country in the
world and many of its children are often reduced to begging and living
on the streets for means of survival. In the majority of cases these
children have no access to a schooling facility nor could they afford
to attend on a regular basis.
CLCR looks to provide these children and other marginalised groups of Nepal with a scholarship education, including on-site hostel accommodation through its school project, HCA.
As little as AUD$1.15 per day is all it takes to educate and house a child at HCA and change a life.
CLCR is currently working with children's homes in Kathmandu and surrounds in an effort to source children from all over the country for HCA scholarships. We also have plans to expand and renovate the HCA hostel to provide more scholarship packages.
It's as easy as AUD$35 a month to completely change
the life of another, to enable them to have a future where they can
earn a living and give back to their society, rather than be dependent
on the whims of others.

The Family Assistance Program
(FAP) has been developed in response to issues encountered whilst
running the individual scholarship program. We discovered that many
families within the communities
in which we work
can not afford to send all their children to school. Thus, a
family with little money will save for years to send one or two of
their kids to school - whilst the
others miss out on the privilege and consequent life benefits of
gaining an education. Not
surprisingly these children are often girls. CLCR believes strongly
that the equal education of girls will lead to far-reaching positive
change. Therefore we have taken a holistic family orientated approach
in providing what we call the Family Assistance Program (FAP).
Understandably, when considering
Nepal's economic situation, we see cases like this every day. To
support underprivileged families in this situation (through the work of
our CLCR/ HCA Scholarship Outreach Team) we look to provide
opportunities for children/ families like this to attend HCA on a
scholarship basis. To become involved in this program is AUD$35 per month - a very small price to pay to ensure that each child in a family has the opportunity to become an independent asset to their family and community.
Below is a photo of a Nepali family involved with the FAP at the HCA (left) and other HCA students that have benefited from scholarship support.
