Petit Món

La Srongtsen Bhrikuti Boarding High School was originally founded in Kathmandu to teach child refugees from Tibet. Since then it has expanded and is now a boarding school for orphans, very poor children or those whose families are unfit to take care of them. Through scholarships, this school gives them the opportunity to follow a course of study in the best environment possible for their own personal development.

This is made possible thanks to both a concerted effort by the school, together with the help of private individuals and institutions worldwide who assist financially with the children’s studies, accommodation and upkeep.

Petit Món´s involvement in the Project

During one of our visits to Nepal, we went to see the school and were told that 42 children were in danger of having their education cut short. Due to the severity of the current economic crisis, the number of sponsors has dwindled. Petit Món has taken responsibility for their education, but to guarantee that they will be able to remain at school, we must find as many sponsors as we can.

With your help, we can do it:

Funding for all education-related costs for the 42 children
Books, pens, pencils etc
Uniforms
Meals
Accommodation for those children who have been orphaned or who require it due to distance. 18 out of the 42 children are in such a predicament.

Our Commitment

Petit Món will see to it that your donation is given to the school and will send you the photos and backgrounds of the forty-two children. We will also contact you twice a year with information about how the students are progressing – such as exam grades and activities they have been doing – as well as photos and descriptions of events which have taken place at the school throughout the year.

We hope to make you feel like a part of the project and that you will love it as much as we do.
