GIRL-CHILD SCHOLARSHIPS

Goal: $25-50/year/girl	(grades 1-12)

This ongoing program can benefit an unlimited number of 
girls.  Most Nepali girls have to drop out of school by 
the third grade to perform manual labor at home for the 
family�s survival.  Young girls as far away as the Far 
West District of Baitadi have benefited from this program.
100% of your donation goes directly to a girl�s education.  


HHN SCHOLARSHIP FOR 
THE UNDERPRIVILEDGED

Goal: $1,200/year 	(higher education)

This scholarship benefits traditional low caste and 
female students.  For example, first recipient Som 
Bahadur Bohora is a Dalit � Untouchable Caste - who has 
a burning desire to obtain an education and return to 
his village to help others.  Som attends Tribhuvan 
University�s Institute of Forestry in Pokhara, and 
plans to work in the field of Community Forestry when 
he graduates in 2007.  Som maintains top grades and 
is a wonderful example to other Dalits of what can 
be accomplished through diligence and hard work.  
This scholarship may be awarded in August or September 
each year.

Chitrakar family and are a one-of-a-kind collection of historical and cultural significance.
