Thursday, September 28, 2023
Kopila Valley just WON the first-ever Social Welfare Education Award from the Government of Nepal’s Ministry of Education, Science and Technology!
The award was presented in a ceremony last week on National Education Day, which was focused this year on the theme, “Inclusive and Skill-oriented Education: Retaining Youths within the Country, Nation's Wish.”
The award was established just this year and is given to individuals or organizations making notable contributions by taking custody of and providing education to underprivileged children. Kopila Valley has been working since 2007 to educate children who are resource-limited in the Karnali region, to provide support for girls to stay in school, and to provide new career options and entrepreneurship opportunities to graduates who are already enhancing their local communities.
Other recipients of the Social Welfare Education Award include our friends at SOS Children's Village, Bhaktapur and Mala Kharel, Bal Sarathi Academy.
