Every lesson learned today helps build the foundation for tomorrow 📚💛

Through our RISE (Rural Investments in Student Education) Program, HCC helps vulnerable and at-risk children in rural Nepal access the education and support they need to stay in school and work toward a brighter future.

For many children, continuing their education is not guaranteed. By providing scholarships, school supplies, and ongoing support, we help create opportunities for students to learn, grow, and pursue their goals.

Help us ensure more children have the opportunity to stay in school and build the future they deserve.

Learning doesn't only happen inside the classroom 🎨🌿💛

Through our RISE (Rural Investments in Student Education) Program, students have opportunities to explore their creativity, build confidence, and learn through play and hands-on activities!

Moments like these encourage self-expression, problem-solving, and connection with peers- all important parts of a child's development alongside their education.

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn (& create!) in a supportive environment.

Ambika, a PEAK Program student at HCC, is currently gaining hands-on experience through her internship at the Central Veterinary Laboratory, a leading institution for animal health diagnostics and disease prevention in Nepal!

During her placement, Ambika has worked across multiple departments, developing practical skills in microbiology, including bacterial culturing and Antimicrobial Sensitivity Testing (AST), before moving into the postmortem unit. There, she helps investigate disease outbreaks in poultry, identifying lesions, processing samples, and supporting veterinarians in recommending treatments to farmers.

Most recently, her work has helped her better understand the impact of avian influenza (bird flu), knowledge that Ambika says helped her raise awareness amongst her peers.

We are incredibly proud of Ambika for her dedication to learning and the meaningful impact she is already making through her work!!👏❤️

One of our PEAK Program students, Rita, recently had the opportunity to lead a treatment-based dental camp at a secondary school in Nepal as part of her clinical training!

During the camp, 80 students and 25 parents received dental screenings, with around 35 students receiving treatments including Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) and extractions.

For Rita, the experience was not only a meaningful opportunity to give back to the community, but also an important step in strengthening her practical skills and confidence as a future dental professional 🦷🦷

Through our RISE (Rural Investments in Student Education) Program, HCC provides support to vulnerable and at-risk children in rural Nepal, helping reduce barriers that can prevent them from staying in school.

Alongside scholarships and educational support, aid distribution helps ensure students have access to basic necessities, creating greater stability for children and families facing difficult circumstances.

In communities where education is not always guaranteed, these forms of support can make a real difference in helping children continue to learn.

Meet Pushpa, one of our recent PEAK Program graduates who earned her Bachelor’s degree in Travel and Tourism. She is currently completing an internship at a five-star hotel in Thailand!

When asked about an experience at HCC that has always stuck with her, Pushpa shared:

“The night stay at Godawari with the entire HCC family, celebrating Susan Aunt’s birthday with swimming, dancing, singing, and so much joy. It was such a special and magical moment.

It was our first time celebrating her birthday that way, and it still holds a very dear place in my heart.

Those simple, happy times together as one big HCC family always feel the warmest.”

We are so proud of everything Pushpa has accomplished and so excited to see where this next chapter takes her!! ❤️
