What is the problem?

In Nepal, only 27% of students complete the upper secondary level, and others drop out before their final year because of affordability, distance, and poor-quality schooling.

Canopy USA supports Nepali students on the verge of dropping out to stay in school and complete their education andhone them with the skills to break their generational poverty cycle. With long-term educational support, one-on-one mentorship, hands-on training sessions, storytelling sessions, career counseling, and internship placements, we provide long-term guidance to the students to improve their and their family’s life standards through education.

We are the sister organization and international chapter of Canopy Nepal, a non-profit with eight years of history working in education in Nepal. All funds raised through Canopy USA directly support the children of Nepal through Canopy Nepal’s programs.

How do we solve the problem?

Canopy Nepal Scholarship Programs or CANSHIP is an educational scholarship program that ensures educational accessibility to underprivileged children of 6-18 years by fulfilling their basic necessities as well as providing them with necessary psycho-social support. The program also includes skill enhancement through various workshops, training, counseling, and mentorship to empower the students and enable them to sustain life after graduation.

Katha Bunaun is a story writing and presentation program that focuses on the freedom of expression of young learners as an important aspect of the development of young minds where students write theme-based stories. The program emphasizes the implementation of interactive learning aiming to mold students into independent learners by equipping them with soft skills essential to make self-sustaining informed decisions.
