How you can help
 Educational Sponsorship
Sponsoring the education of a girl is a special kind of giving that creates a meaningful relationship between you and a Nepali family.

Through the sponsorship of a girl, lives are truly changed forever. Sponsorship is a meaningful way to witness young lives gaining a foothold onto a better life, as our sponsored girls learn and grow.​
 Mothers' Literacy Program
This project provides a supportive learning environment for mothers of HIO girls to alleviate their abject poverty.

With a generous two-year grant from Dining for Women, HIO has established the first cash-transfer program of its kind in Nepal to alleviate abject poverty while encouraging literacy.​
 Bal Kendra Learning Center
At the Bal Kendra Learning Center, 75 children who might otherwise spend the day on the street actively engage in Montessori-oriented preschool classrooms, taught in both Nepali and English.
 Strong Roots Preschool
Strong Roots Preschool provides free education to 50 neighborhood children who would not otherwise have a chance to go to school. The area residents are among the poorest in Kathmandu, living in a muddy area of crowded squatter huts and small, tin-roofed structures bordered by the fetid Bagmati River.
​Special Programs
From time to time, special opportunities arise for donors to offer additional help. Supporting programs such as teacher training workshops, food distribution efforts, and our new Piggy Bank Project is a wonderful way to enrich the lives of our girls and their families.
