address education inequality

Our goal is to revolutionize education for Nepali children and our goal is to address education inequality especially around girls and STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) by introducing a New Green Learning Agenda. We are committed to fostering a generation of environmentally conscious and scientifically literate youth through the creation of outdoor classrooms and hands-on STEM curriculum. By transforming school grounds into outdoor living classrooms, integrating nature into the learning environment and emphasizing practical, real-world applications of STEM, we aim to inspire curiosity, promote sustainability, and empower especially young Nepali girls to become innovative green leaders who will drive positive change in their communities and beyond.

Our Outdoor climate/STEM centered education program brings numerous values to Nepal, enhancing both the educational landscape and the broader community. Here are some key benefits:
