Child sponsorship

1

Sponsor a child in the High Himalayas for $300 p.a. or $25 per month

Each sponsored child has one sponsor, since they live with their families. Sponsorship pays for their education. The sponsored child's family decides whether the sponsorship money is used for

  • additional assistance with day to day living while their child attends the local 'free' government school (otherwise the child may be required to work in the fields) or

  • attendance of their child at the local North Pole private school in Jibajibe where a higher level of education is provided and a child may start at his/her appropriate level rather than his/her age group. Some children walk for up to one and a half hours to and from North Pole School each day to receive an education.

 

The annual cost can be paid at $25 per month (payable 1st of month). 

This sponsorship program began in 2011 in response to the alarming 85% illiteracy rate within the community. After 14 years in operation parents have come to realize how important it is to educate their children and the waiting list for sponsorships continues to grow.

Reach Out Nepal has seen first-hand the incredible changes that are taking place through the opportunities in education being offered to these children. As at April 2025, 58 children in K-Year 12.and beyond are sponsored as part of this program.

 

Becoming a child sponsor means you can follow the progress of your child

You will be allocated a child and receive regular written reports on the children in Kathmandu.

Ongoing reports on children and other sponsorship projects in the High Himalayas are done on a voluntary basis by Margot who lives in Australia but goes to Nepal as often as possible. Just getting to some of these remote villages is difficult and time consuming. The situation has been made more difficult by fthe earthquakes,  Covid19. and recent flooding however  our relationship with Hari and the rest of the HHCP is excellent and so  you will be kept in the loop if there is a need to do so.

Sponsor a child in Kathmandu for  $300 p.a. or $25 per month

Contribute to the education of a child in Kathmandu who has been part of our program for many years but needs another sponsor to cover the increasing RISING education, accommodation and living costs.

 

In Kathmandu we currently sponsor 6 students. 9 of our past students have obtained Bachelor' degrees in Agriculture. Business, Physics and Social Work and are giving back to their communities. One student is studying for a Nursing degree in Germany.

Each student requires a minimum of 8 sponsors. Sponsorship provides not only funds for education but also for accommodation, food and sundry items while ever the children and young adults are studying. Sponsorship stops once a student completes his or her Bachelor' degree.

 

We are not taking any more students in Kathmandu due to the rising costs of tuition however we are committed to continuing tto support he education of those children who have already been with us for many years. The assistance of just a few people is needed so these children can complete their education.
