Who are we?
Focusing purely on social work, we are an organization that
is registered with the District Administration Office (DAO), Kathmandu and affiliated
with Social Welfare Council, Nepal.
We are a mission; we are “Mission Education Nepal”.
What do we do?
In simple words, we don’t do ‘big’ things. Focusing on Nepal as our
work area, we help those who haven’t been able to study, those who have been
forced to leave school early because of their unfavorable socio-economic
situation and the children of those genuinely poor people who have to work hard
just to make their ends meet, by helping them to continue their formal
education and schooling. In a way it can be said that we provide full
scholarships to the most needy as far as our resources permit.
How do we help?
We help by identifying the children who really need our help
and admit them into schools. We bear all the economic responsibilities of the
expenses required for their school (including admission fees, tuition fees,
etc.) and educational materials (including uniform, books, copy, pens, etc).
What’s the source of our funds?
We believe that Nepalese have to be the ones dealing with Nepal’s
problems. Thus we ask the support from all Nepalese living within or outside
the borders of Nepal.
Presently, the main sources of our funds are those Nepali
donors who are satisfied with our work or are worried about the problems
occurring in Nepal.
We also generate some funds from membership fees charged to those who are
willing to be affiliated with our organizations as well as annual donations
committed by specific donors (whom we call ‘annual donors’).
What activities are we doing in the present?
We are currently supporting the education of 7* children in Nepal.
Besides this we are also involved in establishing and upgrading a library at Saraswati School,
Koteshwor in Kathmandu. *(we had already provided more than 300 books to Saraswoti school to upgrade its library)
Where are our offices?
We don’t have any office or branches, and we perform all our
official functions through the homes of specific members. Frankly speaking we
don’t have the economic capacity to sustain an office. Our focus so far has
been to support more people from the donors’ aid, rather than waste it
senselessly on running an office.
How much do we spend on administration?
In the last fiscal year of 2070/2061 BS (i.e., 2013 AD)* our
administration expenses was around 8%, while its come to around 10% in the
current fiscal year. Most of these expenses include compulsory government fees
like registration, and re-registration, while the rest include stationary fees
for our organization.
What do we do with the donation we receive?
We spend 100% the donated amount on exactly those activities
and plans, on which the donors wish to contribute.
What are our future plans?
We aim to admit at least 5 new children in schools from the
next academic session that starts from June 2015*. We also aim to establish at
least 1 library in a community/governmental school in Nepal every
year.
And what is
your Rupees 5 lakhs (Five Hundred Thousand) fund deposit plan?
Our plan is to
select at most 2 districts every year within Nepal and collect NRS. 5, 00,000
per district. The collected amount would then be deposited in some reliable
financial institutions on a yearly fixed-deposit basis. The interest received
from such deposits would then be invested on the education of at least 5
children of the very district where the funds are collected. Our plan here is
to support at least 10 children from 2 districts every year in their education
and thus contribute something to develop Nepal. We had already collected NRs. 110,000.00 on Mahottari district 5 lakhs endowment fund. And collection is going on.*
What don’t we do?
We don’t sell dreams. We instead give efforts to change
dreams to reality; a dream of seeing an educated, prosperous and peaceful Nepal.
What do we
want?
Your support,
contribution, goodwill and help.
