Supporting Education For All
Supporting Education For All
Supporting and encouraging education for all in poor, rural communities in Nepal is vital to Manisha UK.
As well as having to be situated in poor rural communities, it is a condition of support that schools offer open access by being non-fee paying, and also offer equal opportunities to boys and girls.
With our Infrastructure and Education programmes well established, we are looking for volunteers and partners to help deliver our Healthcare and Sustainability objectives.
The simplest way to help is to make a donation via the button below.

Delivering Successful Projects
Delivering Successful Projects
Our recipe for success in delivering our major projects on time and within budget has been to maintain a tight control on costs by direct payment of suppliers, avoiding cash payments and engendering community engagement through the mobilisation of local labour in the construction work. Where possible, costs have been shared with local government organisations, which also helps ensure our hard-earned funds are spent on schools with a long term future.
Our First Major Project - Pipaldanda School
Project Focus 2025/26
Project Focus 2025/26
At our 2024 AGM, the trustees agreed on a major project to build a school dormitory at Gyanodaya Secondary School, in the community of Okhaldhunga.
Okhaldhunga, is a very remote community with homes and farms spread far and wide across the rough terrain for miles around the school, some children face walks of up to 2 hours each way, every day, just to get to there and back.
The school had the idea of building a community run dormitory to allow up to around 40 children to stay overnight rather than returning home every evening. This would save them having to walk up to 16 hours a week and allow them to be far better prepared for school days.
Although building costs are comparatively low compared to UK cost, it is still an expensive project due to the need to get materials and labour to this very remote location. We are targeting raising £15,000 towards the cost of building materials and £5,000 towards fitting-out the dormitory. This won't cover all costs and the community will be trying to raise additional funds and contribute labour to get the project complete in 2026.
