Help us make a difference for other children as CFENC did for Dr Karma Sherpa. His story in the link below:

We are raising money in aid of the Charitable Foundation for the Education of Nepalese Children (CFENC). Every donation, no matter how small, will help a child or young adult in Nepal.
Inspired by travels in Nepal, particularly to more remote areas, the Charity was set up to support the education of children who would otherwise not have the opportunity to learn or have access to formal education. The Charity is non-religious and non-political and supports children of all ages, caste and gender.
The Charity funds the attendance of children at schools, colleges and universities, also providing stationery, books, laptops, uniforms, and sports equipment.
We have supported and funded school building works to remote mountain schools and one of our biggest achievements was the building of a school in the Solukhumbu district, in East Nepal. From laying the first foundation stone, our school took a number of years to complete and was halted when nearing completion due to the major earthquakes of 2015. We finally opened our 'earthquake proof' school in 2016 and it is now attended by local children in an area where before there was little opportunity for formal education.

Nepal is prone to natural disasters including earthquakes, floods and landslides and we have also been able to assist in providing life-saving aid relief to remote villages, refugee and health camps and have supported a family who lost everything, building them a home with enough land for them to keep an animal and grow their own vegetables.

As the children advance through their education they progress to further education and we arrange funding / sponsorship to enable them to realise their dreams of becoming for example Doctors, Accountants, Nurses, Architects. An annual amount to support a child at school costs between £850 - £1800, progressing to £5,000 per year for medical studies. This would include their hostel (if they board), meals, uniforms, education fees, stationery and excursions.
100% of each and every donation goes towards supporting the children. Any expenses incurred by Lisa and Peter in running the charity are paid for by themselves.
Our goals for the coming years include supporting:
A medical student - £5,000 per year for the next 2 years
An architecture student - £1,800 per year for the next 2 years
An accountancy student - £3,000 per year for the next 5 years
A student nurse - £3,500 per year for the next 5 years
A hospitality & management student £2,500 per year for the next 2 years
An IT management student £2,900 per year for the next 2 years
and more......
Funding further school building works - £25,000
Supporting remote schools with furniture, books, stationery, uniforms - £15,000
Could you help......
£10.00 would pay for stationery for one child for 6 months
£25.00 would pay for a set of school uniform
£50.00 would pay for one months hostel fees including meals for a child
£100.00 would pay for one months tuition, books, stationery, uniform for a child
If you would like to sponsor a child individually then please contact us directly. The children love to interact with their sponsors and you will receive regular updates as to their progress; the children enjoy corresponding with their sponsors too. To see a child fulfil their dream is incredibly rewarding for us and their sponsor too!
We do appreciate that times are not easy - fundraising opportunities and securing donations are a challenge in the current climate but we fervently believe in helping some of the poorest children in the world achieve their dream - can you help us?
Thank you or as the children in Nepal would say 'Dhanibhat'
The birth of the CFENC.....
