Overview

Since 2014, with Teach For Nepal and Volunteers Initiative Nepal (VIN), we have provided in-service programs for over 700 teachers, impacting education for over 22,000 children.

Ten teams of Fellows have helped run these programs. We are now working to co-design a new version of our program focused on peer coaching.

Partnerships

Since 2014, we have partnered with VIN in a community-led effort to expand access to in-service training for teachers in Kathmandu.
Volunteer Initiative Nepal (VIN)

Among its six community empowerment programs, VIN engages hundreds of teachers each year to learn and share best practices and child-friendly methodologies.

Kathmandu

Nestled in the Himalayas, Kathmandu’s surrounding mountainous terrain makes providing ongoing support for teachers a challenge.

Education in the region

Recent education reform has led to improved enrollment and literacy, but deep inequities in the quality of education remain — particularly in rural areas.

Highlights

  • In partnership with VIN, we have provided in-service programs for 460 teachers since 2019.
  • Through youth empowerment, children’s development, and teaching programs, VIN has benefitted 41,000+ children.

What's next?

Bwindi Region

Nestled among rolling hills near the border of Rwanda, Kanungu’s schools enjoy better views than transport links. This makes ongoing school support challenging.
