ABOUT UWS NEPAL

UWS Nepal is a charity organisation dedicated to improving educational opportunities for underprivileged children.

We aim to provide quality education to all children, and to reach that goal; we work to improve educational opportunities for children living in marginalised communities and remote regions. Our education transformation philosophy is maintained by developing and introducing child-friendly pedagogies that allow for more significant innovation in the classroom and greater engagement between the in-class lessons and real life, parents-teacher relationship, and harmonised relationship between local government and local communities in a shared mission to ensure a future for children in the communities where we work. Our vision is Zero Education Poverty.
