Nepal

Sponsor a child's education and empower women through vocational training at the Lydia Vocational Training Centre in Kathmandu.

Quick Facts

Through INHAT, sponsoring a child in Nepal provides a path out of poverty by covering school tuition and other needs like uniforms and supplies that families may not afford.

In addition to child sponsorship, the Lydia Vocational Training Programme in Kathmandu empowers women by providing skills training. This programme helps young women gain skills to start their own businesses, become literate, and support their communities with their newfound knowledge.
