October 2023 marks the 15 year anniversary of First Steps Himalaya.
Since our first early childhood class started in the village of Sangachok Nursery, we have been working hard to change the lives of young children. Every single person who has supported us, donated or volunteered has helped us achieve all that we have ……..
Thank you!
Whoever you are, whatever your situation, you can make a big difference and help create a better world for young Nepali children into the future.
Without the generosity of people like you, we could not offer the support we do for rural Nepali children, teachers and their schools.
Sangachok Nursery classrooms pre-project. Children were left to sit in a dirty classroom without a teacher.
Director, Durga Aran finding out that children struggled to recognise letters and numbers unless they had seen them painted on classrooms walls and learnt by rote.
The first ECD class at Sangachok Nursery. The children had never experienced anything like it and immediately started to have fun.
We are extremely grateful to all who choose to mark their life in this special way.
Even gifting just 1% of your estate can go a long way to help.
Thank you
Many rural Nepali children have never experienced quality early education – safe buildings, stocked with educational materials and a well-trained teacher to lead the class are luxuries they just can’t access.
With help from hundreds of generous donors, First Steps Himalaya is able to work in classrooms and schools across rural Nepal. We work to create child-friendly classrooms that are clean, well-resourced and conducive to learning. We provide practical hands-on teacher training to create skilled and passionate teachers. These wonderful teachers are then capable of stimulating and fostering a love of learning in their young students.
