Palmu Holiday's and Vision Nepal Education Scholarship Program, PHVN’s founding program has been operating in Kathmandu,
Nepal since 2013 and currently supports 5 children. We provide for every need
for these students, and your donations are integral to making these resources
available. For Vision Nepal students in this program, your donations are used
for:
- School fees for English-medium boarding schools in Phulasi and Kathmandu;
- Medical costs for regular check-ups, illness and emergency injury;
- Hygiene and toiletries for the students, including toothbrushes, soap, feminine products, etc;
- School supplies for the students, such as books, pens, notebooks, binders, backpacks, etc;
- Clothing expenses for students, including school uniforms;
- College and University fees for the students in our programs studying in junior college (grades 11-12), and at universities, graduate schools, and technical colleges.
Education Scholarship
Program:
The Rural Program supports impoverished children in rural
regions most heavily damaged by the 2015 earthquakes. Your donations enable
these students to stay in school and get an education, which greatly reduces
the risk they will be trafficked or subject to child labor.
- Your donations help provide:
- School fees for reputable, local schools
- School supplies such as pens, paper, notebooks, and backpacks which we bring to the students
- Hygiene products such as feminine products, soap, toothbrushes, and toothpaste
- Medical costs
Higher Education Scholarship
Program:
There are many NGOs working in Nepal to provide education
for at-risk children and youth, however, most of them end support when the
student turns 16. Education, especially through college and university, is
profoundly life-changing, so Vision Nepal was inspired to create the Higher
Education Scholarship Program which supports disadvantaged and marginalized
students for college, technical school or university degrees. Vision Nepal remains
a helpful resource and stable family environment into adulthood. Students in both
the Program and the Rural Education Scholarship Program, as well as other
deserving students from Nepal who wish to continue into higher education, can
apply for scholarships to attend college, university or technical school
education. Tuition and/or board are provided by Vision Nepal based on financial
need, merit, motivation, and academic dedication.
The Nepali school system is similar in structure to the
British system. ‘High school’ or ‘secondary school’, is finished after grade 10th,
at which point students can decide if they would like to enroll in a technical
school (similar to a vocational school, where the students learn a trade such
as construction, plumbing or car mechanics) or progress to ‘college’ (which is
roughly equivalent to grades 11 and 12 in the American system). To enter
college students must take a standardized test, and if they pass to enroll in
one of three areas: math/science, management or humanities. Upon successful
completion of college, students can then apply to a three-year university
program to obtain their bachelor’s degree or a five-year university program to
obtain a master’s or specialized qualification such as a doctor or lawyer.
The adviser ship &
Life Skills Programs:
Within the Program are the innovative Life Skills and adviser ship Programs, which provide each student with the guidance and skills
needed to successfully establish a successful, self-reliant life.
The Life Skills Program prepares the Vision Nepal students
for life on their own by teaching them practical, day-to-day skills children
would generally learn from their parents or families. The program teaches the
students how to manage a home, through lessons in basic budgeting, paying
bills, cooking and food shopping and general household chores. The program also
provides them with enhanced professional skills through lessons in job
interviewing techniques, computer and internet proficiency, and advanced
English classes.
Students also participate in the innovative adviser ship
Program, which aims to shift the paradigm for at-risk children from a position
of an unwanted and marginalized victim, to a life of empowerment, dignity,
self-esteem, and self-fulfillment. Adviser ship inspires self-awareness and
gratitude by encouraging each student’s individual talents, skills, and
passions. The program teaches communication and leadership skills, emotional
management, and team building within a community. Most importantly, Vision
Nepal mentorship encourages a mindset of “leaders training leaders.” Giving
back to the community is a cornerstone of the Vision Nepal educational
philosophy, and our students and graduates give back to the community with a
profound sense of gratitude and responsibility.
Education:
The Program enrolls students in top-quality; English medium
boarding schools, providing them with a strong educational foundation that
opens doors to higher education and stable employment. Since one’s family forms
the foundation for self-image, relationships, stability and confidence, Vision
Nepal’s creates a nurturing, surrogate family culture to support and encourage
each child to ensure that the systemic trauma associated with abandonment does
not undermine their social, emotional and academic progress.
