I am raising money on behalf of VSO - the charity facilitating my trip to Nepal - to help fund education, healthcare and environmental projects, such as the one I'm working on, around the world. Please note that your donations will not be going towards the cost of my trip like flights etc., just straight into fieldwork. 

I will be going to Nepal to work with schools in Salyantar for 12 weeks. Since quality of education and rates of poverty are linked, particularly in Nepal where parental engagement is low and deprived children have poor attendance, the aim is to improve the learning outcomes of children. Through community projects that engage parents and help equip teachers with new skills, VSO hopes to lift many children out of poverty with a good education. 

Outside of Nepal, VSO brings people together to address marginalisation and poverty. Right now, VSO is bringing justice to rape survivors in Pakistan, ending stigma against disabled children in Ethiopia and tackling the youth skills gap in Uganda. Please join me as I take a stand against poverty and support VSO's uniquely effective approach that reached over 1.5 million people last year alone.

Thank you for your support.
