The Small World has been dedicated for years to providing education to children and is convinced of its significance in breaking the cycle of poverty in remote Himalayan Communities of Nepal.
Challenge
With a dearth of tourists and no more burgeoning throngs of trekkers, porters & many others whose livelihoods depend on the tourism sector have been out of work for over a year. Above and beyond the existing challenges for at risk children whose education & holistic wellbeing we have been supporting, the Covid-19 and lockdown situation has created a new classification of at-risk children, about 40% in rural areas, who had been attending school but have dropped out due to this loss of income.
Long-Term Impact
Support for these children during this global emergency will prevent them from becoming a permanent school dropout and save them from at risk situations like child labor and trafficking as well as girls being forced into becoming child brides. Together, you and your sponsored child will start a special relationship that changes both your lives. Because of you, your sponsored child will have what every child deserves - a future.
