Why A Girls' School?

In 2010, Kylesh Sharma (14) and Saika Sharma (12) were introduced to a world that forever changed her life. After learning about Nepal House Society that focused on providing therapy to children suffering severe trauma in Pokhara, Nepal. Kylesh and Saika wanted to get involved. They set up a call with the Founder of Nepal House Society, Ashwin to learn more.

Counselors, Basanta and Shiva, shared with Kylesh and Saika that Nepali families living in poverty could only afford to send one or two children to school; they often chose the males. Females are the forgotten population. Unfortunately, Nepal is known for high levels of trafficking of girls ages 11 years old+.

Shocked by the disparity between the reality and opportunity for women in their community versus the plight that small girls were facing, they wanted to help break the cycle. Kylesh and Saika created Nepal House- US branch. Our goal was to build an all girls school for the most at risk girls in the community.

Later that year, Kylesh and Saika visited Pokhara, Nepal to  meet with prospective teachers, therapists, and administrators at the future site of the school, and participated in every aspect of its creation, from choosing desks to designing curriculums. Upon returning to the US, Kylesh and Saika worked to raise awareness for the girls and their education. To date, over 200K has been raised, multiple partnerships with large corporations such as Whole Foods and Samsung!
