Story
Welcome to EYE Nepal, a small UK-based charity that is dedicated to enhancing the life opportunities of Nepal's poorest children through better early years of education. Nepal is famous for being the landlocked home to Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, and the vast Himalayan mountain range. However, it is one of the world's least developed countries, with at least a third of the 26 million population living below the poverty line.
Agriculture employs 70% of the population, and 57% of people in Nepal exist on less than $2 per day. One-third of the population lives at least 2 hour's walk from an all-season road, and only 5% of rural Nepal has electrification. In rural Nepal, 5% of children aged 5-9 years are estimated to be out of school, and 24% of 4-year-olds are not in a preschool or primary school. In total, 800,000 children do not attend school at all in Nepal. During the recent COVID-19 crisis, 95% of children did not attend school for over 8 months.
Moreover, 60% of girls marry before 18, many before 14, and 80% of children will suffer from domestic violence. By supporting EYE Nepal, you can help promote a brighter future for these vulnerable children and positively impact their lives. Join us in our mission to improve early years education in Nepal and provide a better life for its children.’
