Nepal is a land of sublime scenery, timeworn temples, and some of the best walking trails on earth. It’s a poor country but is rich in scenic splendour and cultural complexity.

The projects aim to help the poorest people so that they become able to help themselves or just simply survive.

A large number of people in Nepal cannot afford health care or education for their children. Diseases such as TB and leprosy are common. A situation made worse by poverty, malnutrition and lack of hygiene. Women are often married very young without being educated and have large families at an early age. Often deserted by their husbands, they are unable to support themselves and their children. As a result there are a large number of abandoned or orphaned children who are sleeping and begging in the streets.

Our main aim is to give Education to the poor and needy children, volunteers to those who need support, in order to serve the society. We Organize Health Camps in different Villages in the Helambu region, which are deprived of basic health care, We have already distributed clothes donated by overseas friends, to poor people and orphaned children in this remote area of Nepal. Since some of the very poor families couldn’t afford to educate their children we have found them sponsors for their children’s education. We welcome the help from our friends and donors who are willing to help the poor and needy through us.

The main focus of VECGK is on the children of this impoverished region. We believe that children not only have a place to live and learn, but that they have a healthy environment in which to do so. That is why our programs are varied and have included distribution of donated clothing, bringing basic health care to remote villages through organized health camps, and supplying our schools with electricity, water, and proper sanitation, something most schools lack. It is important to us that healthy living practices are instilled in the students of our schools, to be put into use in Nepali society. We are in the planning stages of the building of a new boarding school for the children on the region. Currently, there are 35 students from Helambu continuing their education in Kathmandu. Our continued success depends on the ongoing support of new and future friends, both at home and abroad.

This school is   being constructed with the purpose   of helping girls and boys   from local underprivileged families to attend a school near their homes. When funding   has previously been   available for   sending children to boarding school   in Kathmandu, boys have   often   received   priority over their female siblings. Gangkharka School however,   will welcome all children regardless of age, religion, location, previous education or background.
