The Captivating Nepal team conducted a 3-day field trip to meet local municipality leaders, health professionals, and school principals to kick off our program planning coordination. The newest Captivating Nepal Village program aims to transform a village in a remote location near the base of the Himalayas by improving access to education, empowering communities through health and awareness sessions, and enhancing livelihood opportunities.
During this visit, a two-part kick-off meeting was held focused on education and livelihood improvement discussions. These initial discussions led to the following key points:
We also visited the homes of the children who are vulnerable and are more at risk of discontinuing school. We engaged with the mothers of the kids because we know their kids’ attendance at school is tied to their support and faith in education.
It was a very productive field trip, and our team is in a better position to plan for what’s ahead of us. We are proud to see this level of collaboration happening in the work that we are doing in Nepal. We know that when we work together, more sustainable progress happens as we move toward a brighter future.
