Who we are
Street Child of Nepal has been developing and executing programmes aimed at enhancing the educational outcomes of marginalised children. The goal is to provide educational support to children, particularly those who are marginalised and excluded, to help improve their learning outcomes and provide equal opportunities for their future.
Street Child of Nepal was established in response to the 2015 earthquake, which left over one million children without access to education and caused significant damage to more than 50,000 classrooms across the country. Street Child UK launched the Nepal branch to support local organisations in restoring education in the worst-affected communities. Since then, Street Child of Nepal has continued to expand its efforts, working to provide long-term educational opportunities for marginalised communities throughout Nepal.
The organisation prioritises educational quality through a learner-centred approach, offering effective and inclusive learning alternatives for children in need. Furthermore, it is committed to evidence-led advocacy and programming, and supports both qualitative and quantitative research across sectors.

Our PURPOSE
Education is a fundamental human right, and a foundational element of prosperous and progressive societies. Street Child exists to reach the underreached, and to ensure that marginalised children have access to a meaningful education that leads to improved life outcomes.
Street Child aims to create avenues for out of school children to access education through an integrated approach that enhances the structural, systemic and school factors that influence education, and thus strengthen the capacity of communities to sustain their investment in the education for their children.
