Nalang Sewa Samaj has initiated the Child Education Sponsorship Program in collaboration with the trekking and travel company, Mountain World Treks and Expeditions. The goal of this program is to provide school age children with a better education and resources so that they have a chance to improve the prospects for their future. The remote village of Nalang in Nepal has many destitute families with children who are disabled, conflict-affected, and abandoned or orphaned. These underprivileged children deserve the benefit of a good education and NSS is committed to finding help for these youths.
The coordinating efforts between NalangSewaSamaj and Mountain World Treks towards the Scholarship Program have shown promising results in bringing a better quality of life for the children. In the past, the Child Education Sponsorship Program depended on the generosity of the clients who travelled with Mountain World Treks, but it is now welcoming donations from all interested individuals or groups. NalangSewaSamai is responsible for identifying those children most in need and oversees and monitors the different aspects of the program.
Who the Beneficiaries are:
– Impoverished children with incomplete education
– Children of the social “low caste” as defined by Hinduism
– Talented children who secure above 80% in their school evaluation but are seeking to enroll in better institutions
– Abandoned children or children neglected by their parents
– Children working in forced labor
How We Nominate the Children for Sponsorship:
Firstly, we go to the village and try to find out about the background and family history of the child. For verification, we check the facts with other villagers. When we are sure that we have a genuine and deserving case, we ask the guardian of the child to fill out an application form and submit it with supporting documents, such as school records, (concerned department?) health certificates, and the District Development Committees(?). We then make a profile of the nominated children based on the facts and keep a record on file. When we find people who are interested in sponsoring the education for an underprivileged child, we send them the details of the nominated children.
Where Your Contribution goes:
Investing in children is investing in the future. You have the power to make a difference in the lives of the poor by supporting this project with your donation. The Scholarship Program’s annual endowment uses 85% of its funds collected to go directly to the children for educational needs and 15% of the total amount goes for administrative purposes and to local coordinators.
How the Distribution and Monitoring of the Funds Works:
Local guardians will be authorized to utilize this fund for the children’s education. We have local monitors, who will ensure that the funds are used for the children’s educational needs and who will also evaluate whether the children are really benefited or not. Moreover, they will report the children’s progress in school. Every six months, we will send you the children’s regular progress report to assure you that the contribution you made has indeed been useful for the purposes for which it was intended.
Special Sponsorship
The Special Sponsorship covers the education of a child in an English-medium school. The monthly contribution of 40 USD covers tuition, uniform and regular health checkups, etc. It does not include accommodations and meals. There is an English-medium school near Nalang, so children could live at home and attend this school.
Regular Sponsorship
The Regular Sponsorship is the most basic sponsorship that contributes to the child’s education in the village school – most likely a government school – where he/she is presently enrolled. A monthly contribution of 10 USD sufficiently covers tuition, stationery and uniform at the state-run school. Since the education provided in government schools cannot always compete with that in private schools, we strongly suggest considering the Special Sponsorship as a better alternative.
Your contribution will be directly allocated for the educational benefits of your sponsored child. Additionally, our organization will continually update you as to the progress of the child both in and outside the classroom. NalangSewaSamaj will send a package to you that includes the child’s letter, school reports and photos. Your kind contribution will never be taken for granted. Even the smallest donation will result in a life changing impact upon each and every needy child.
NalangSewaSamaj strongly recommends a long term commitment from the sponsors to enable the child to finish High School and to possibly have the opportunity for further study either here in Nepal or abroad. We appreciate your generosity because we realize the importance of education in the physical, psychological and personal growth for any individual. NalangSewaSamaj is committed to making sure your donations directly benefit the children to ensure them a promising future. Our resolve lies in combating and reversing the misfortune that these innocent children have faced in their lives.
