Why the #180Challenge?

It takes 6-year-old Amir 180 minutes to walk to and from school every day.

In the region of Nepal where Amir lives, less than a third of the population completes primary school, which keeps those most marginalised trapped in a preventable cycle of poverty and illiteracy.

Every child deserves the opportunity to go to school. Through building schools, training teachers and empowering local communities, we can provide children like Amir with a quality, inclusive education. Together we can make going to school a reality for thousands of primary-school-age children, for the very first time in their lives.

Help turn Amirs life around. Pull a 180, and help transform a childs future for the better. Take the #180Challenge before 21st July 2022 and your donation will be doubled by the UK government, so that we can make an even bigger difference.
