Girls Education

Our Programs

Scholarship Students

The Sherpa Education Project provides financial support for educating village girls in the remote Solu-Khumbu (Everest) region of Nepal. We serve families who are unable to pay the school fees, and in doing so, these girls can now receive a solid education through 12th grade. Our approach is to keep the number of students at a level where we can know and help each girl.

Sponsored Scholarships

This is a sponsored situation in which a child or family of children are supported by an individual sponsor. There is often a personal connection between the giver and the Sherpa family and, as such, the support is direct and lasts as long as the sponsor contributes.

With both types of scholarships, each child is known personally to our organization and followed carefully. Twice-yearly visits are made to all the families and the child’s report cards are shared.
