Education for Daughters Update!

Mission: Officially registered on February 20, 2026, this charity is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes within the meaning of section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Specifically, the organization provides scholarships, educational resources, and support to economically disadvantaged girls in rural Nepal. Funds are raised through community fundraising initiatives and are distributed directly to schools and students to ensure transparency and maximum impact. While the present focus is on rural Nepal, the organization may expand its educational and empowerment programs to other underserved communities beyond these boundaries in the future. 

 Our board members are: Madan Baral, Nitesh Pant, Ram Itani and Jyoti Adhikary.

Scholarship on 2024: 330 Students (Complete)

In 2024, total 330 students from 61 schools benefitted from this charity. Students who benefited are from low-income families, and some are from very remote areas where there is no access of roads. Some have lost one or both parents and living with relatives or in someone’s house. Some students are handicapped, dropped out the previous year or about to drop out this year. Some students struggled to have food on their table but were determined to receive education for a brighter future. I am glad that due to help from well-wishers like you, I was able to help these 330 wonderful students across the country. Funds distribution to these 330 students have been completed.
