In Nepal, the civil war and economic malaise have lead to increasing numbers of children being left to their fates. They usually end up on the streets. No healthcare, no schooling. Robbed of their future, they have to fight to survive. The Shree Nepal Matri Griha Primary School programme supports these children. The organisation ensures that children can attend school, and provides social support for their families. They learn to actively contribute to improving their situation.

In Calcutta, over 100,000 children don’t have roofs over their heads. Particularly the girls are at high risk of abuse and violence on a daily basis. The project for the integration of street children provides shelter and education within a private school, side by side with children from the highest social circles. They follow classes together, and learn with and from each other. A new society is formed, cutting through all castes.

Thanks to the introduction of ICT lessons, increasing numbers of Ghanese children are being prepared for the future. These lessons and access to a library not only provide them with new opportunities on the job market, they also gain better insight into the world around them. However, nowhere near all elementary schools in Ghana are able to offer this to their students. Project partner To Be Worldwide is committed to ensuring these changes.

The Tirupur region in southern India is known for its garment industry. As a result of this industry, the region also struggles with the problems associated with child labour. An organisation by the name of SAVE runs programmes to eradicate child labour practices and is committed to children's rights by operating educational centres, which are known as bridge schools. 

Former child labourers and street children cannot enter the formal education system without a transitional period in which they are prepared for this. Bridge Schools are the answer. Here, during one academic year, these children can be prepared for the regular educational system and receive counselling, in which they are trained in leadership and youth empowerment. SAVE operates 10 centers at which they serve 300 children between the ages of 8 to 14. The children are provided with a lunch and education materials, and their personal development receives a great deal of attention. Teaching methods are specifically geared to make the learning process enjoyable so that these former street children will not return to their old way of life.

Although the number of children in Kenya attending primary education has increased significantly over the past 5 years, it turns out many children leave primary school without being able to read and write. ICS believes that the quality and effectiveness of primary schools will increase if management and teachers are held accountable to the children's parents and the community. School Improvement Programmes (SIP) are being created by school community clusters to make this happen, in which representatives of the school and the community work together to safeguard the quality and access to education.
Two school community clusters in the districts of Busia and Teso (Western Kenya) will be supported in creating and execute a School Improvement Programme (SIP). The support consists primarily of training and financial contributions to the execution of the SIP’s. The project involves 2 community clusters, reaching 7 Early Childhood Decelopment Centres, 9 Primary schools, 3 Secondary schools and 1 Vocational school.

This project is aimed at helping children from poor villages located in very remote mountainous areas in northwest Thailand. Many of these children cannot complete primary school because of the long travel distances to school and the lack of good living accommodations at the schools.
The Samsara Foundation is helping to solve this problem by providing several schools in this mountainous northwest region with living accommodations and other facilities so that children can live at their school during school periods and thus complete their primary education. 

One of the most important and essential contribution to a better life for the children, is access to clean drinking water. It prevents diseases, but the availability of clean water will also attract more and better-qualified teachers to the mountain schools. Many schools in this specific area do not have access to clean drinking water. This project is aimed specially at the installation of twenty water purification machines at twenty schools. Ten of the twenty schools do not have access to water at the end of the dry season. These schools also need a cement water collecting tank to store the rainwater during the rainy season to use in the dry season.
