The Orphan Student Education Initiative (The Hope Hostel)
A comprehensive residential facility in Kathmandu designed to serve talented and underprivileged children, providing them with stability, belonging, and resources to break the cycle of poverty.
Program Overview
In the mountainous regions of Nepal, there are children of exceptional academic potential who face insurmountable barriers. Orphaned or living in extreme poverty, these bright young minds are often denied the future they deserve due to a lack of educational infrastructure in their remote villages. This creates a cycle of poverty and vulnerability that Compassion Nepal is uniquely positioned to address. Our solution is the Orphan Student Education Initiative - a comprehensive residential facility in Kathmandu, specifically designed to serve these talented and underprivileged children.
Our Mission: Identify, Educate, Nurture, Empower
Our project's mission unfolds through four interconnected movements: IDENTIFY exceptionally talented students from our rural tuition centers who demonstrate great potential but lack resources; EDUCATE by providing access to high-quality formal education in Kathmandu with additional academic support; NURTURE by creating a safe, stable, and supportive residential environment that addresses physical, emotional, and social needs; EMPOWER by equipping students with life skills, confidence, and education for long-term self-reliance.
Our Program: A Holistic Approach to Development
This initiative is a comprehensive and integrated solution addressing multifaceted needs. Educational Support provides access to quality education through partnerships with local private schools and part-time home tutors. Residential and Emotional Care creates a true home with nutritious food, clean clothing, medical services, and emotional counseling. Skills Development focuses on practical life skills and vocational training for long-term sustainability and self-reliance.
Our Promise: A Foundation of Safety and Accountability
Given the vulnerability of the children we serve, a robust ethical and safeguard framework is non-negotiable. Our initiative operates under strict Child Protection and Safeguard Policy including thorough screening, strict safety rules with Two-Adult Rule, clear reporting procedures, and financial integrity with dedicated oversight and regular audits.
Our Roots: A Partnership with the Community
This project is a natural extension of Compassion Nepal's established mission and presence in mountain communities. Students will be selected in close partnership with local representatives from our existing tuition centers. An Advisory Committee composed of local Village Representatives will ensure we select the right students, leveraging local knowledge and trust while maintaining vital links to their home villages.
