I’m raising vital funds for Vocational Schools in Nepal, giving young people the opportunity to learn a trade, earn a living with dignity and build a future. In a place where the average income is just US$2 a day and opportunities are scarce; this school will offer a life-changing pathway out of poverty.

Your support will help provide funds for classrooms and workshop buildings; sewing machines, wood-turning lathes and other essential equipment; training spaces to develop real, employable skills.

The charity Supporting Nepal’s Children has already built two vocational schools, with over 1,400 graduated into stable employment. Your support will help double their capacity, giving thousands more young people the chance to build a secure and hopeful future.

In 2022 I was honoured to have joined Supporting Nepal's Children in raising funds and building a Vocational Training School at Olgapuri Village in Nepal. Whilst the success of the school has been amazing, we want to go further to help even more children. Therefore, I will be returning again to Olgapuri for our Build & Trek 2026 where we are looking to build further accommodation for the children to allow more students to live next to the school and enable the Nepali Youth Foundation (our partners in Nepal) to offer more apprenticeships.

Every pound raised allows us to continue to make a difference in these children's lives, giving them the opportunity for a future we would all take for granted so please support us where you can.

Plus, every pound raised by fundraisers directly connected with St. James’s Place will be matched by the business, doubling the impact so that support can be given to Jamie’s Farm, a UK charity which helps disadvantaged children in the UK grow emotionally, socially and academically.

Many thanks

James
