Books of Children in Nepal

The small country of Nepal boasts eight of the ten highest mountains in the world. But the very mountains that give Nepal its grandeur provide a challenge to building a sustainable infrastructure. Most of the population lives in rural areas where no phones, roads, clean water, or schools exist. Where government schools exist in the countryside, they are underfunded and overcrowded, with only rudimentary levels of equipment and textbooks. Without creative, colorful books in the language they speak, it is difficult for children to learn to love reading and exploring the world through a book.

This Gift That Gives More™ provides Nepali-language books for children in Nepal through Room to Read, forever altering the lives of children by helping to provide them with an education.
