Girls Education Nepal was established in May 2005 by Nonna Lamponen and Amanda McKay. The programme sponsors girls from underprivileged families to attend school near their homes.Our mission is simple – to enable girls to have a better future through education. Sponsorship is aimed at the most desperate cases – children who otherwise would have little chance of going to school. All girls are welcomed regardless of age, religion, location, previous education or background.Our selection criteria is equally simple. To qualify for our sponsorship a child needs to fulfil three conditions:
To be a female
To be from verified underprivileged background
Currently not attending school
The GEN sponsorship covers education-related expenses only. All fees are paid directly to the schools and the girls remain living with their families. Although there is no requirement for academic excellence we expect the girls to study as hard as they can and attend school regularly. Our sponsorship is for one year at a time, and will be renewed provided that the girl gets reasonable results, attends school regularly and most importantly shows enthusiasm and willingness to learn. GEN is a small charity, operating without middlemen and heavy admin costs. We personally know all the girls in the programme and follow their progress closely. GEN operates on voluntary basis meaning that 100% of your donation goes towards the education of these girls
