Our aim is to provide winter school uniforms to young students in Nepal to support their health and education.
With your support, we can help more students to attend school regularly, to stay healthy and to feel confident.

School uniforms are a prerequisite to attend school in Nepal, but unfortunately many families cannot afford to buy them. Having a school uniform provides access to education and many students wear the uniforms the whole year round. New uniforms are needed regularly as the clothes are often quite worn out after one year and the children grow so fast.   

Additionally, lots of public schools in Nepal, especially in the rural areas, lack heating. The classrooms are also cold due to missing or poorly insulated windows. Therefore, the school uniform is helpful to stay warm when the temperatures decrease during winter. 

The winter is coming and many students are in need for new uniforms soon. This year, we aim to provide 900 winter school uniforms for preschool children and students from grade 1 to 10 in six government schools in Okhreni, Tharebir and Suntakhan. One school uniform costs around 10 euros. Just with 53€ you can provide 5 students with new uniforms and help them attend school and stay warm. 

Since 2015, Long Yang NGO together with Akasha Academy NGO has been supporting the health and education of young students in Gokarneshwor region. Through ongoing support for schools, for example with the school uniforms, significantly more children can receive education. Thanks to the support, the number of school children in some schools has almost doubled.

Thank you for your support!
