Many young people in Nepal, especially the ones living in rural areas and coming from underprivileged families, often do not have the opportunity to choose their own future. Particularly young woman who are expected to get married at an early age or who live in abusive families need support to get access to profound education. With your support, the Akasha Education Fund creates opportunities for young Nepalis to make their own choices.
Our approach of support: Educate, enable, empower
Akasha Academy and Long Yang e.V. have been active in Nepal for many years. With our various education projects, we support especially young woman to develop responsibility and leadership qualities, based on universal ethics.
In our Akasha Traineeship we are meeting many talented young ladies, eager to learn – including some who find themselves in difficult situations, e.g. with violent fathers and no chance to make their own decisions in life. Our experience has shown that the dysfunctional environment of the family is one of the main reasons for the girls’ problems to attend school at all or to continue their education.
With financial support, we can help to provide a safe environment for them and offer space to grow and continue their studies.
Creating space to learn and grow
For this reason, we are setting up a new education fund that will provide support in various areas to create the conditions for a sound education. At the moment, the priority of the fund will be helping girls from abusive families to provide short term accommodation and cover the living costs to pursue their studies in a safe environment. If needed, we will also support them with costs for therapy and treatment to deal with psychological and physical consequences.
In the long run, we will build a student house, so that all students of our programs will be able to live independently and focus on developing according to their own choices. The fund is furthermore meant to support students in need with scholarships and covering school fees for children from disadvantaged families.
