Why we do it

In 2015, Nepal has been hit by very strong earthquakes bringing destruction and devastation. Thousands of people suffered from these events and the country as well as may families have not recovered yet. Even today, major parts of the public infrastructure, including public schools, are still damaged or even closed. As education is the basis for enabling people to improve the outlook for the future, the organisation of Children of Kapan has been founded in 2017 with the goal to provide development aid in education for Nepal, especially in the Kapan / Kathmandu area.
