Mercy Corps Nepal works to build the absorptive, adaptive and transformative potential of vulnerable individuals and communities across Nepal.

Mercy Corps began its operation in Nepal in 2005, with projects focusing on the sectors of economic and food security; climate, natural resource and disaster risk management; youth engagement; with the inclusion of women and disadvantaged groups as important cross-cutting themes throughout each intervention area.

STEM II:

Supporting the Education of Marginalised Girls in Kailali (STEM II) is an education project funded by the UK Department for International Development under the Girls Education Challenge (GEC). The project, led by Mercy Corps along with its implementing partner Backward Society Education (BASE), aims to improve the opportunities and outcomes of more than 6,000 marginalised girls in the Kailali district in the Far-West region of Nepal. To do this, the project cultivates an enabling environment, so girls are likely to stay in school, obtain higher levels of math and literacy scores and successfully transition through key milestones.

The project works in 30 schools across Kailali District in one sub-metropolitan city (Dhangadhi), three municipalities (Ghodhaghodhi, Gauriganga, Tikapur), and two rural municipalities (Bardagoriya, Kailari).
