Kathmandu Rainbow School Nepal

All children have the right to development.

In Nepal, due to the relative lack and imbalance of educational resources, children in most communities have few opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities, such as games, debates, drama, art and other activities. Fees for interest classes and extracurricular activities need to be paid extra, which is difficult for families with poor financial conditions to bear. In families with low economic income, the types of work that parents are engaged in lack technical skills and mainly rely on physical strength, which makes many children unable to get care and accompany because of busy work of parents.

Some children came to Kathmandu from the mountains with their parents. Their parents' job is mainly to carry bricks in a brick factory. The work cycle is generally from October to March. Parents do not send their children to school due to the erratic time in Kathmandu. In addition, there are many slums in Kathmandu and families in slum cannot afford the rent, and use tarpaulins to build temporary shelters to live in. Some children will go to the streets to sell water and other subsidies for their families.
