WHAT WE DO...

​We work with migrant labourers who travel from the foothills of the Himalayas to the Kathmandu Valley to make bricks. During the dry season the families live in temporary huts with no electricity, sanitation or clean water.

FOR ADULTS...

It is not just the children that benefit from the Brick Children School. We also provide practical classes for adults.

An example of this is sewing training for women from the brick making factory and from the local village. This is in addition to the adult literacy and skills training programme. By providing these skills we have encouraged many of the women to go on to form small businesses, helping them to bring their families out of poverty. Advice and support is also given regarding health issues.

FOR CHILDREN...

Before our school was established in 2001, the children’s education came to a halt for 6 months as they made up to a thousand bricks a day alongside their parents. When they returned to their hill villages the youngsters often dropped out of school because they had fallen behind. 

Now at the Brick Children’s School they learn, play and build their skills to escape this cycle of poverty. Since we started, we have worked with over 1000 children and their families. 

HOW WE DO IT...

We work together with our partners in Nepal, Kopila Nepa, who are a registered NGO recognised by the Nepalese government. We also have partners in Belgium  who share our vision. Together we provide a school/community centre and we employ trained Nepalese teachers to deliver our programme.  

In the UK we are a registered charity (1097055) run by unpaid volunteers. There are no office overheads so every penny we raise directly benefits the children.
