In addition to educating our own children, Ama Ghar reaches out to the community schools to help underprivileged children in our area attend and stay in school. Even though Class 1 – 10 education is provided free in Nepal, many poor parents cannot afford to buy the necessary uniform, book bag, papers and pencils that children need to attend school.
These village girls can now attend school, thanks to our community scholarship program.
Ama Foundation contributes to three local schools by giving book bags, stationery and material for uniforms.
Two of our older girls, Srijana and Pabita, recently joined in the presentation of these items to the school children of a local school. These programs are important to the health of our community, and they also teach our Ama Ghar kids the value of social work for others less fortunate than themselves.
Ama Ghar sisters Srijana (far left in red jacket) and Pabita (far right with scarf) helped to present book bags to these local kids.
The principal of our local school hands this girl her first book bag.
