Every child deserves the right to belong. In Nepal, too many daughters are denied education and dignity because of systemic barriers. Console Mission is working to break those walls—helping girls reclaim their place in family and society through confidence, advocacy, and opportunity.
This March, GlobalGiving’s Little by Little Campaign makes your impact even greater. From March 23–27, 2026, every donation up to $50 will be matched at 50%. That means your gift goes further in empowering girls, protecting children, uplifting the elderly, and strengthening youth voices.
Your support makes this possible. Together, we can ensure that daughters are not left behind but are celebrated as agents of renewal.
👉 Donate today and watch your generosity grow little by little.
🌱 Little x Little: Every Gift Multiplied into Belonging
On International Women’s Day 2026, Console Mission celebrates women whose courage transforms hardship into hope.
Take the story of Shreemaya Tamang, a 72-year-old from South Lalitpur. While many elderly women are expected to rest at home, she works daily as a bus assistant—calling out to passengers, collecting fares, and ensuring safe journeys. Her sweat is not a burden; it is her dignity. Her resilience is a reminder that self-reliance is possible at any age.
Her story mirrors the heartbeat of our mission: small acts multiplied into lasting impact.
🌍 Little x Little, Belonging Multiplied
Through GlobalGiving’s Little x Little campaign, every donation you make is amplified. A small gift becomes a scholarship. A modest contribution becomes a safe classroom. A single act of generosity becomes dignity restored.
This aligns with our project She Belongs: A Daughter’s Right to Be Family. Just as every daughter deserves to belong to her family, every learner deserves to belong to opportunity. Your gift—no matter how small—multiplies into belonging, safety, and hope.
💪 Why It Matters
Shreemaya’s sweat → Symbol of resilience and independence.
Your donation → Multiplied through Little x Little, turning into scholarships and safe spaces.
Our project → Ensures children and daughters are not left behind, but belong to family, community, and education.
✨ Call to Action
This International Women’s Day, Console Mission invites you to give. Because when you give, it will be multiplied—into belonging, dignity, and futures restored.
Together, we can transform sweat into strength, and little into much.
We are excited to share that Console Mission will participate in GlobalGiving’s Little by Little Campaign, running March 17–20, 2026. This special campaign celebrates the power of small donations to make a big impact.
Every gift up to $50 will be matched at 50% by GlobalGiving while matching funds last. A total of $125,000 in matching funds is available during the campaign, and bonus prizes totaling $6,000 will be awarded to top-performing projects.
Your support has always been the driving force behind our work. During this campaign, even the smallest contributions help us continue providing resources, programs, and hope to the communities we serve. Please consider making a gift and encouraging friends and family to do the same. Together, little by little, we can create lasting change.
One student volunteer assisted younger children in a classroom during a Console Mission program. In total, four student volunteers managed 23 students divided into four groups based on their grades.

Yes, Nepal faces a high burden of waterborne diseases, especially in urban and underserved communities. This silent crisis affects thousands of lives each year—especially children, the elderly, and those living in informal settlements. At Console Mission, we believe that access to clean water is a human right, not a privilege.
🚱 Why Is the Burden So High?
Nepal’s geography and infrastructure challenges make water safety a complex issue. Here are the key contributors:
Polluted rivers and water sources: Rapid urbanization and poor waste management have severely contaminated rivers like the Bagmati. These waters are still used for bathing, washing, and even drinking in low-income areas.
Limited access to safe water: Many rural and peri-urban communities rely on untreated sources, increasing exposure to harmful pathogens.
Inadequate sanitation infrastructure: Open defecation and poor sewage systems continue to fuel the spread of waterborne illnesses.
🦠 What Diseases Are We Talking About?
Waterborne diseases are not just inconvenient—they’re deadly. The most common include:
Diarrheal diseases: A leading cause of child mortality in Nepal.
Cholera and typhoid: Outbreaks spike during monsoon seasons.
Hepatitis A and E: Often linked to contaminated water and poor hygiene practices.
📊 The Human Cost
According to the World Health Organization and national health reports:
Waterborne diseases contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality in Nepal.
Diarrheal diseases are among the top killers of children under five.
The Global Burden of Disease 2019 study confirms that water-related illnesses remain a persistent challenge for Nepal’s health system.
🧼 What Needs to Be Done?
This data reinforces the urgency of:
Scaling up chlorination and water purification programs
Investing in sanitation infrastructure
Empowering communities through education and hygiene awareness
At Console Mission, we are committed to turning data into action. Whether through youth-led campaigns, donor-supported interventions, or grassroots mobilization, we aim to build a future where clean water is accessible to all.
Water borne diseases are Key facts:
Schistosomiasis (Snail Fever) – Estimated global prevalence: 200-600 million
Dracunculiasis (Guinea Worm Infection) – Estimated global prevalence: over 500, near eradication
Key facts:
Schistosmiasis
Schistosomiasis is a chronic disease caused by parasitic worms.
At least 243 million people required treatment for schistosomiasis in 2011.
The number of people reported to have been treated for schistosomiasis in 2011 was 28.1 million.
People are at risk of infection due to agricultural, domestic and recreational activities which expose them to infested water.
Lack of hygiene and play habits make children especially vulnerable to infection.
Clean drinking water, adequate sanitation and hygiene education would reduce infective water contact and the contamination of water sources.
Schistosomiasis control focuses on reducing disease through periodic, large-scale population treatment with praziquantel.
Dracunculiasis
Dracunculiasis is a crippling parasitic disease on verge of eradication, with only 542 cases reported in 2012.
The disease is transmitted exclusively when people who have little or no access to safe-drinking water supply swallow water contaminated with parasite-infected water-fleas (cyclops).
Of the 20 countries that were endemic in the mid 1980s, only 4 (all on the African continent) reported cases in 2012.
Most cases (96%) occured in South Sudan.
From the time infection occurs, it takes between 10-14 months for the cycle to complete until a mature worm emerges from the body. (http://www.who.int)
An environment for less privileged children for learning at home
“Learning is not attained on chance; it must be sought for with ardor and diligence.”
Abigail Adams
Children are facing:
Time management – the time they have to focus on studying is valuable if they learn to manage it by writing a “timetable” work, based on CoMi’s experiences (a boy failed in class 8 was called at CoMi’s office during pandemic when lockdown was shortly lifted, he traveled from a village called Bulakhichawor, 1 hour of walk and about 3 hours of travel by bus on July 14, 2020)
Parents expectation children to help in household’s chores, taking care of livestock and taking care of vegetables in their field.
Almost 100 percent of the population of adults married were married in their teenage. And not completed school’s education and some have never been to school.
The impact is such parents hardly or never visit or attend their children’s programs and activities at school. Teachers are discouraged but have been continuing their work by helping children who are in need of educational materials and school uniforms.
After this teenage boy from the far and village areas of Lalitpur, he got help planning to manage his time. He followed it. And when he revisited on February 15, 2021, though he failed he was continuing in class 9 that happened after his previous visit. He was told to ask his school about the situation that he was facing, taking care of livestock and even cooking food. As his elder sister was studying living at Console Mission’s SMH, he was helping his father. Her mother was not with them. And he also had a younger brother. For more encouragement, he was handed educational materials. Now he has completed his school. But he is facing another challenge.

After planning to manage time this boy looked happy and fresh to go back his home and focus in his study.
Based on a latest news published on Feburary 8, 2024 by Gorkhapatra Daily Newspaper माघ २५, २०८० गाेरखापत्र
नेपालकाे एउटा गाउँका बालबालिकाहरूले पर पुग्नु पर्ने विद्यालय जान भन्दा बरू त्याे समयलाइँ घरकाे काम र कमाइहुँने काममा अभिभावकलाइँ सहयाेग गर्ने गरेका छन् ।
08/02/2024 (२५ माघ २०८०, बिहिबार) by Radhakrishna Dumre राधाकृष्ण डुम्रे
This news and there are several news gives hints that the public school must think, plan and act quickly.
Why can’t school manage to have a hostel partnering with parents. Partnering means, at least they as a parents provide monthly fee based on their social status. So that school could manage a place for the student. किन विद्यालयले अभिभावकसँग साझेदारीमा सही व्यवस्थापन गर्न सक्दैनन् ? साझेदारीको अर्थ, कम्तिमा अभिभावकको रूपमा उनीहरूले आफ्नो सामाजिक स्थितिको आधारमा मासिक शुल्क प्रदान गर्छन्। जसले गर्दा विद्यालयले विद्यार्थीका लागि ठाउँ व्यवस्थापन गर्न सकोस् ।
स्याङ्जाको गल्याङ नगरपालिका–९, कालीगण्डकी नजिकै रहेको माझी बस्तीका बालबालिका विद्यालय जाँदैनन् । विद्यालय जान उनीहरूलाई अभिभावकले प्रेरित पनि गर्दैनन् । यसको एउटै कारण हो घर नजिकै विद्यालय नहुनु ।
Children of Majhi or Fisherman community near Kaligandaki, Galyang Municipality-9, Syangja do not go to school. Parents do not encourage them to go to school. The only reason for this is that there is no school near the house.
छिमेकी गाउँका बालबालिका विद्यालय गइरहँदा यो गाउँका बालबालिकाका हरेक दिन मनोरञ्जन र खेलमा रमाएर बित्ने गरेको छ । विद्यालयको मुख देख्न नपाउनुमा गाउँमा विद्यालय नहुनु हो । उनीहरूलाई पढ्नका लागि कालीगण्डकी नदी तरेर अर्को प्रदेशमा जानुपर्ने बाध्यता छ । यही बाध्यताका कारण अभिभावक आफ्ना बालबालिकालाई पढ्न पठाउँदैनन् ।
While the children of neighboring villages go to school, the children of this village spend their days enjoying entertainment and games. If you can’t see the face of the school, there is no school in the village. They have to cross the Kaligandaki river to go to another province to study. Because of this compulsion, parents do not send their children to study.
स्थानीय श्यामबहादुर माझीले भन्नुभयो, “बस्ती नजिक स्कुल छैन । टाढाको स्कुल पठाउन सकिएन ।” उहाँले गाउँका बालबालिकालाई पढ्नु पर्छ भन्ने सामान्य जानकारी पनि छैन । माझी बस्तीमा १७ घरपरिवार छन् । उनीहरूका १९ जना बालबालिका विद्यालयको पहुँचबाट टाढा छन् । केही बालबालिका भने पढ्नका लागि छिमेकी जिल्ला पाल्पा पुग्ने गरेको स्थानीयको भनाइ छ । पढ्न गएकाहरू पनि तह अनुसारको पढ्ने उमेर नाघेका छन् ।
Local Shyam Bahadur Majhi said, “There is no school near the settlement. Couldn’t send him to a distant school.” It is not even common knowledge that he should read to the children of the village. There are 17 households in Majhi Basti. 19 of their children are out of reach of school. Locals say that some children go to neighboring district Palpa to study. Even those who went to study have exceeded the reading age according to the level.
माझी समुदायका अधिकांश मानिस पढ्न र लेख्न जान्दैनन् । स्थानीय दिलकुमारी माझीले गाउँमा विद्यालय नभएका कारण आफूहरू शिक्षाबाट वञ्चित हुनुपरेको गुनासो गर्नुभयो । उहाँले विद्यालय नभएका कारण आफूहरू अन्य गाउँको तुलनामा हरेक हिसाबले पछिपरेको बताउनुभयो । उहाँले छोराछोरीलाई विद्यालय पठाउन सहज हुने खालको सचेतना आफ्नो बस्तीमा आवश्यक रहेको बताउँदै भन्नुभयो, “छोराछोरीलाई पाल्पा पठाउन कुनै अप्ठ्यारो थिएन तर यहाँको संस्कार नै यस्तै बनेको छ । छोराछोरी पढाउन एकल प्रयासले हुने अवस्था नै छैन ।”
Most of the people of the Majhi community do not know how to read and write. Local Dilkumari Majhi complained that they were deprived of education because there was no school in the village. He said that because there is no school, they are behind in every way compared to other villages. He said that there is a need for awareness in his settlement to make it easy for children to go to school and said, “There was no difficulty in sending children to nursery school, but the culture here has become like this.” It is not a situation to educate children with a single effort.
गल्याङ नगरपालिकाले भने माझी समुदायका बालबालिकालाई पढ्ने व्यवस्था गरिएको दाबी गरेको छ । नगरपालिकाका वडा नं. ९ का अध्यक्ष नामदेव खनालले माझी बस्तीबाट आधा घण्टाको दुरीमा विद्यालय रहे पनि विद्यार्थी आफैँ अनुपस्थित रहेको दाबी गर्दै भन्नुभयो, “बालबालिकालाई शिक्षामा अगाडि ल्याउन र विद्यालय जाने वातावरण बनाउन पहल जारी छ ।”
Galyang Municipality has claimed that provision has been made for the children of the Majhi community to study. Municipal Ward No. Namdev Khanal, the president of 9, claimed that although the school is half an hour away from Majhi Basti, the students themselves are absent and said, “Initiatives are ongoing to bring children forward in education and create an environment for going to school.”
शिक्षा विकास तथा समन्वय एकाइ स्याङ्जाका प्रमुख विश्वराज आचार्यले धेरै विद्यार्थी विद्यालय नजाने आफूहरूलाई जानकारी नरहेको भन्दै यसबारेमा आफूले बुझ्ने र समस्या भएको भए समाधानका लागि पहल गर्ने बताउनुभयो । पठित धेरै भएको जिल्लाका रूपमा स्याङ्जालाई लिइन्छ । स्याङ्जालाई २०७१ सालमा पूर्ण साक्षर जिल्ला घोषणा गरिएको थियो । जिल्लाका ८१.७ प्रतिशत नागरिक साक्षर रहेको २०७८ सालको राष्ट्रिय जनगणनाले देखाएको छ ।
Bishwaraj Acharya, Head of Education Development and Coordination Unit Syangja, said that they do not know that many students do not go to school and said that they understand this and if there is a problem, they will take steps to solve it. Syangja is considered as the most literate district. Syangja was declared fully literate district in 2071. The national census of 2078 has shown that 81.7 percent of the citizens of the district are literate.
Young, one among 3 children, son, living in a government’s facility, is used to tobacco and alcoholic beverages. He often regrets, close to the school where his father used to be the boss, running a retail shop and looking for opportunities to earn. He has his own family but is supported by his parents. He also had a chemist’s shop, selling medicine and providing jobs opportunities. But he became used to drugs that he could not run it well. His wife helped to stop it by managing to have it at home rather than outside. But that did not help. He also had several conflicts that he had to return to his parents.
Based on this case, it is teenage, egos and challenges that direct someone in future career path. Living in a government’s facility this person involved in discriminating against others, little age below his age, living in rent. Mainly, there was a public tap, early morning, locals to collect water, he was not necessary to intervene but he was supporting someone else. And even, using his father’s power, insisting the water controller, the government employee to stop water, interfering. When some young children were speaking up, he even got violent, collecting a few other guys, and physically violent.
In the same area, one of the founder members used to live in their own house. Those living in rent, in need, used to get help. That was something related to the son of someone important person and neighbour. When one person, in the teenage is discriminating and the other is defending, obviously 2 different ways of living life. Certainly, that person was irregular to school, bunking, going to watch movies, instead of going to school. In that situation, the person defending those suffering of not getting collect water, was regular to school. That was the time that person left private school and joined public school. “That was the time, controversy studying at public school, private schools or calling boarding schools were the quality place for education compared to the public school”. But when a student flunks, there is a challenge to get promoted and the student needs to continue from starting from the same grade. And it will be the junior. It is a shameful situation. Therefore, those studying at private or boarding school select public school and get opportunity to continue in the grade. That helps to maintain 1 year loss. However, in upper grade in 8, 9 and 10, the course is difficult and similar. Because both students either from boarding or public have to appear in national examination that the question paper is the same. Just the difference is boarding students’ writes in English and those from public school answers in Nepali except English subject paper. In the case of the son of the principal, could not face even after joining public school. Because he missed basic parts of learning instead his mind was full of the unnecessary and made pictures that he saw in movie hall bunking classes. Besides, he was also involved in selling tickets in high price that he was taught by some other person who was a school dropouts. They used to wait for the time when a new movie used to be released. For a while when they earned, they were happy. The trend went further and he did earn but that did not last long. Life become a compromise that to fulfil it, he is giving priority to his children’s education. Education is important, it gives opportunities and ways to move ahead even facing challenges. It is most important that children also get opportunity to learn and experience life skills lessons on time. To make is sure, Co. Mi. is focusing that its initiation to start a learning place in community will have such opportunities that children gets opportunities to strengthen their thinking power. And capable to focus on the need and priority.
बालबालिकालाइँ विद्यालय समय भन्दा बाहेक अरू समयमा कसरी पठन पाठनमा ध्यान लगाउँने र उनिहरूलाइँ शिक्षालाइँ पहिलाे प्राथमिक्तामा राख्न सहयाेग गर्ने भन्ने विषयमा १ दिनकाे अभिमुखिकरण कार्यक्रम सम्पन्न भयाे । यस १ दिने कार्यक्रममा १४ वटाबाट सहभागीहरू पठाइएका थिए । याे कार्यक्रम देश का विभिन्न जिल्ला अन्तर्गतका गाउँपालिकाका वडाहरूलाइँ दिने साेँच रहेकाे छ । A 1-day orientation program was held on how to help children focus on their study outside of school hours and to keep education as their first priority.

Progress:
In two villages within two rural municipalities, Console Mission (CoMi) has initiated a community learning center called Our Study Place by renting rooms, serving a total of 48 students. The journey between the villages takes locals more than an hour. Children from both villages walk to the same school, which offers education up to grade 8 and is operated by the government. The efforts of CoMi have been recognized by the school’s principal, the local chairperson, and their team. Recently, in October 2024, a three-month report was submitted to the ward and the municipal office.
Bashanti, a teenage married mother, is learning how to organize monthly parents’ meetings at an OSP in 2024. After completing her grade 10 by taking the SEE examination conducted by the government, she was expected to continue her studies. However, due to challenges, she was compelled to marry. Her husband, who is of the same age, also stopped his studies.
