Story

The aim of Project Nepal is to:

*Serve the underserved

*Develop our student's commitment to service, social justice, and community involvement

*Enable our students to work productively with diverse communities

*Engage the entire ACS Egham school community

Shree Bhuwaneshwari School, Panchkal

We continue to financially support the building of additional classrooms and a toilet block at Shree Bhuwaneshwari, a government school in Panchkal, Kathmandu Valley, where we have worked since 2019. Good progress is being made with the construction which had been halted due to COVID 19 and restrictions. We have completed the first building with two classrooms and the toilet block. We have now commenced work on the second building.

I have learnt a lot about what is important to me and how important it is to serve others. In the future I would like to work as an NGO.

Project Nepal Legacy Programme

We are honoured to support students from rural Panchkal in their university studies in Nepal. Our programme began in 2017 with three scholars, and we are now proud to have sponsored 28 scholars, three of whom have now completed their Bachelor's degrees. The students programmes of study include Human Rights Law; Teaching; Information Technology; Accounting; Medicine and Hospitality. One of our graduates is pursuing her MBA and we are happy to be able to provide a scholarship for her future studies. We keep in regular contact with the scholars, receiving updates on their progress and well-being.

I feel that the experience of Project Nepal has made me a better communicator as well as a more well-rounded and open-minded person. I had to improve these skills in Nepal as it was a new environment for me.

Helping to develop the school in Nepal felt infinitely rewarding and it was certain that we were making a profound impact for the future for the students in Panchkal.

RCN 1179820
When ACS International Schools started in 1967, so did our commitment to provide high quality international education and to positively impact the communities we serve. Over 50 years on, while trends in education come and go, our founding principles remain. They’re at the heart of everything we do. In 2018, we became a UK-registered charity and ACS International Schools In America Inc. a 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation, was established in the US. ACS has already invested over £1m in means-tested bursary places, providing opportunities for students to benefit from an ACS education and, in turn, enriching our community. In our next 2020-21 academic year, over 40 students will benefit from bursary places. In addition to the significant sums we already commit, we also invest in campus facilities to enhance our students’ learning and support for teaching excellence.
