The Himalayan School Project is a small, independent non-profit organization that supports the education of children from the remote Nepalese village of Thakani. Working with the leaders of the village, as well as local community, church and school organizations in Canada and the U.S., it raises funds for the expansion and ongoing operational expenses of the village school.

With a focus on the continued education of promising young women from Thakani, where girl trafficking has been a pervasive problem, the aim is to offer alternative choices that may provide some of Nepal’s poorest girls and their families with a better chance at a happy and healthy future.
