Teaching Fellows
UWS Nepal is a charity dedicated to improving educational opportunities for underprivileged children. We started operations in 2015 as a non-profit, the same year our country witnessed a 7.8 magnitude earthquake. Post-earthquake UWS Nepal has constructed 636 earthquake-resistant classrooms across 321 communities, educating 20,690 students in our Sankhuwasabha, Gulmi, Bhojpur, Taplejung and Tanahun districts. 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.

About the Fellowship Program
UWS Nepal launched the Teaching Fellowship Program in early 2017 as a two-year graduate placement initiative designed for passionate Nepali youth eager to gain experience in teaching, community engagement, and education development. The program addresses the challenges of substandard learning environments in rural areas by placing trained Fellows in UWS-supported community schools.
The Fellowship connects children from marginalised communities with Nepal’s brightest, most enthusiastic, and committed young individuals. Fellows not only get the chance to teach, but also develop personally and professionally. We equip them with the skills, knowledge, and tools to serve as full-time teachers for children who are often deprived of quality education.
Through direct involvement with students, parents, and community leaders, Fellows experience the ground realities of Nepal’s education system. This journey serves as a launchpad for their careers while shaping them into leaders who contribute to a larger movement for educational equity and systemic change in Nepal.
