Lina's Education Fund

During the Spring of 2018 I was very fortunate to spend time in Nepal working with AOKC on their mission to empower people in Nepal through knowledge, health, and freedom. Three core pillars that we believe unite us all.

I will continue my work with AOKC and I therefore ask YOU to to keep helping us too.

How will the Education Fund work?
All donations to AOKC's Education fund will go straight to enabling communities across Nepal to get access to high quality education. This will aid in prevention from child labour and child trafficking as well as overall poverty.
We are constantly assessing the most effective ways of using the fund and will be keeping you updated of the way we spend the donations through out our work.

How do I know my donation will make an impact?
The Acts of Kindness Collective operates a 100% model. This means that we raise money for any overheads separately, so that 100% of your donation to a specific campaign can always be guaranteed to be spent on that project.

A monthly or a one off donation to AOKC means you can support a child from Kindergarten to the end of secondary school, put a promising scholar through university, build a modern earthquake proof school in a remote area or even educate an entire village.

Why Education?
For many of us, access to primary and secondary education seems like a given, but for the people of Nepal, unfortunately it is not. You can make a real and tangible difference to children AND their families by helping them get an education and supporting AOKC’s Education Fund with a monthly donation.

Education is widely acknowledged in the humanitarian world as the key to tackling child labour and overall poverty. According to a recent OECD report, providing every child with access to education and the skills needed to participate fully in society would boost GDP by an average 28% per year in lower-income countries.

Why Nepal?
Nepal is a country known for it’s rich nature, beautiful trekking, and being home to one
of the great wonders of the world - Mount Everest. Yet it is also the poorest country in
South Asia. 25% of people in Nepal lives on less than $1.25 a day. Nepal has 34% of its
children between the age of 5 and 14 who are involved in child labour, compared with
12% in the South Asia region as a whole.

On April 25, 2015 a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal, and suddenly almost one million children no longer had a school to return to.
