Nepal
Since 2001, World Vision International (WVI) Nepal has been working for the well-being of children, partnering with communities and government bodies at the local level in some of the most remote areas in different districts of Nepal. After the devastating earthquakes struck Nepal in April and May 2015, WVI Nepal responded with immediate relief followed by recovery and rehabilitation efforts in ten of the worst-hit districts to benefit more than half a million people in Nepal. At present, WVI Nepal's development programmes are being implemented in 12 districts of 7 provinces across the country with a goal to address the causes of poverty and inequity for the sustained well-being of one million children by 2020.
Our development programmes in the areas of education; health; protection; and resilience focussing on agriculture and economic development, youth economic development and disaster risk management support the most vulnerable children and communities in Nepal.

Education
Renewed interest in learning
While most children are able to recognise all the letters in the alphabet by the age of five, many primary school age children in Nepal are falling behind due to the lack of books and guidance at home. As a result, as many as 25 percent of children do not complete primary school and 20 percent of children repeat Grade One (Ministry of Education, 2014). World Vision is addressing this in Nepal through a comprehensive programme referred to as ‘Unlock Literacy’ that complements the National Early Grade Reading Programme of the Nepal Government. An important aspect of this programme comes in the form of a reading camp, a community-inclusive intervention that enhances learning outside of school.

World Vision has been conducting training programmes on Disaster Management to various Educational Institution, primarily to generate awareness about unsafe building practices that can put children at risk.
