Who are we?
Founded in 2016, Kadam Nepal is a non-governmental and non-political organization registered under the law of Nepal. Our aim is to support communities in Nepal with education and information on livelihoods and the health sector – covering preventative health, sanitation, hygiene, nutrition, preventable diseases as well as sexual and reproductive health. Kadam Nepal follows a participatory approach for its programme activities.
What is our Vision?
Our ambitious vision is to create healthy and educated rural communities throughout rural Nepal. To achieve this we have increased the level of our interventions, especially in education and livelihoods improvement. After the earthquake of 15 April 2015, the status of educational development in Nepal has worsened. Significant efforts are now needed to restore and develop education in Nepal to enable it to offer a better way for the future. Kadam Nepal believes that educated and healthy people are the backbone of the nation. We believe in investing resources wisely to develop health facilities and infrastructure for quality health education in Nepal. Recent disasters have created greater social divisions in communities of Nepal and we aim to tackle these divisions through our programmes providing better education, better environment, better health, sustainable livelihoods and social transformation for all people in rural Nepal. We will do this by mainstreaming cross cutting themes such as capacity development, gender, education, health and traditional practices in Nepali society within our programmes.
What do we do?
We are contributing to improving the quality of education provided by community schools in rural areas. We also provide support that will enable children who have already left school for different reasons to return to education. Many rural children leave school due to their parents’ low income. Under our child sponsorship programme we provide support for them to continue with their school education.
