Our Mission

PaharTrust Nepal helps to improve education, health and sanitation facilities for disadvantaged communities in Nepal. We aim to provide some of the world's poorest children with a high standard of education and to support them to realise their potential while building skills and resilience within communities to improve their sustainability and opportunities to develop.

Our Objectives

• To provide students with an environment to study that is safe, pleasant and conducive to receiving a high standard of education.
• To remove practical, social and cultural barriers to education and seek to be as inclusive as possible.
• To ensure we work in a culturally sensitive manner and respond to the needs of the local population.

Our Criteria

• Villages or localities are only considered for a new school when there is no functioning local school or the building being used as a school is so poor that it is preventing the provision of an acceptable level of education.
• The local population must be enthusiastically supportive of the project. A contribution in terms of volunteer labour or services and / or a financial contribution is a prerequisite to the initiation of any project.

Our Schools

• Are solid, secure and durable structures that are earthquake resistant.
• ​Provide an encouraging environment for children to learn.
• All schools have toilet blocks and schools are finished and decorated to a high standard.
• ​Classrooms have adequate space for comfortable learning, office and storage space is sufficient for modern schooling.
