Contributions & collections

We collect good quality books, teaching materials, computers, sports equipment and clothing to send to Nepal for use in the schools. Any contributions of this type are warmly welcome.

Work with UK schools

In 2011, Rowlands Gill Primary School became the first UK school to “pair” with a school in Pragatinagar. This will be a mutually beneficial educational project and Rowlands Gill have already helped to raise funds for a filtered drinking water project at Narayani Primary School. We would be delighted to help link other schools in the UK to our schools in Nepal.

How do we spend funds raised?

Funds are granted by the Trustees each year to schools and entrusted to school management committees. Schools sign a grant agreement form which defines the purpose of the grant and the verification conditions. We check and verify all grant assistance by collecting evidence and annual visits to Nepal. Since the Trust operates entirely on volunteer efforts, the percentage of funds raised that goes to good causes in schools is close to 100%, less a few small administrative costs.
