The Future Village Foundation was established in 2010 to support the education of impoverished children in rural Nepal. Our team has focused on one such remote village (Katunge, Dhading Province) and conducted various visits to improve the conditions on the ground. The foundation’s primary aims are:
Our team (The Future Village Foundation) was started by a group of 7 volunteers whose profession based in Singapore since 2010. To this end - the foundation has extended the support to 4 school programs in Nepal - 3 in remote mountain districts and one in Kathmandu. The foundation has constructed school buildings, installed green power systems, provide scholarships to allow children to pursue secondary education and bright female students to proceed further study in university - and we continue to provide stationary supplies and pay the salaries of teachers. Bi-anuual visits by volunteer Dentists from Taiwan were arranged in 2011 and 2013 to provide dental checks and treatment (the first time that most village children had seen a dentist). It cost less than US$200 to educate one child for one year. According to UNICEF 40% of the children of Nepal do not continue their schooling past the age of 12. The Foundation regularly arranges visits to Nepal each year and there have been 12 visits since the project was started. Visitors assist teaching English and arrange activities to the students, plan workshop to youth development program, help with harvesting during the season, and undertake basic maintenance tasks on school buildings. More than 100 people from 20+ different nationalities have visited Nepal since the program inception. In 2015, the Foundation is working on "Long Way Home" project and Snowland school renovation project to provide better living and study environment for 150 students from Himalaya mountain areas.
