House with Heart’s commitment to education extends beyond the girls and young women living in our family residence.
Across the Kathmandu Valley, children face steep barriers to learning: the cost of tuition, uniforms, and supplies; pressure to leave school early to earn income; and the absence of safe, supportive learning environments. Girls are especially at risk of dropping out, with lifelong consequences for their independence, economic security, and protection from exploitation.
House with Heart responds with educational initiatives that open doors for children who might otherwise be left behind:
Rise Above
A multi-year tutoring project designed to change the trajectory for at-risk Nepali girls. Through after-school instruction and mentoring, Rise Above helps girls remain in school, strengthen core academic skills, and build confidence. This support enables them to complete their education, pursue higher studies or vocational training, move into meaningful work, and ultimately break free from endemic poverty.
Children’s Learning Center
Located on our Kathmandu property, the Children’s Learning Center is a day program for local preschool children from families facing extreme economic hardship. Here, children learn, play, and grow under the care of our trained staff while receiving balanced, nutritious meals that foster health and development.
Educational Support & Sponsorships
We provide direct financial assistance to cover school fees, uniforms, books, and exam costs for select students in the Kathmandu community, from early schooling through university. This targeted support ensures that vulnerable students are not forced to abandon their studies simply because their families cannot afford the costs.
By reducing both financial and structural barriers, House with Heart helps ensure that children stay in school, complete their studies, and build the foundation for brighter futures.
