Headlines from Nepal this week report a collapsed government, a surging Gen Z protest movement and Army enforced curfews. This is just another reason why our work at Team Dayā is so important and why it merits your financial support. We are scheduled to build our third school in Nepal this fall (our 11th overall).

An emerging democratic state in Southeast Asia, Nepal has survived a royal massacre (2001), a toppled constitutional monarchy (2008), a Maoist insurrection (1996 – 2006) and now this chapter. Many live at or below the poverty line and 30%+ of the nation’s GDP is dependent on foreign remittances (many working age men go India or the middle east for the majority of the year to work and send money home).

The complexity of issues impacting Nepal and other developing nations around the world cannot be underestimated. But schools – education – literate and empowered communities – will always be part of the solution.

Our mission at Team Dayā is fighting poverty and illiteracy by funding the construction of primary schools in the developing world.

Please consider supporting our work this fall in Nepal.

Let’s Go!

धन्यवाद Dhan’yavāda (thank you)!
