Sponsoring a child with TOITWhy the need?
Even the low cost of Government schools, 3,000-4,000 rupees a year (about US$ 50, or € 41.17), is more than many families can afford, and so children as young as eight years old are working in menial, low paying jobs to add some small amount to their family’s income. Private schools, which offer a good education and a chance for a better future, but costing up to NRs. 30,000 a year (US$ 428.57 or, € 352.94), are completely out of the reach of these children. (US$ : 1 = NRs. 70 & € : 1 = 85 NRs. ) What TOIT does?TOIT is working to bridge these gaps by providing scholarships to the students from poverty stricken families, and encouraging parents to send their daughters to school. TOIT matches worthy, poor children in Nepal with benevolent sponsors around the world. Students are selected for scholarship after an application process and a thorough investigation by our staff that includes home visits and school visits if the student is currently attending school. We assess both the financial need for scholarship and the willingness of the student to learn and of the parents to support them with encouragement, time, and a place to study. Students are monitored throughout the school year with home and school visits to check on attendance and academic progress, and on the student's family situation. We compile and send to Sponsors a report of term exams and attendance three times a year. How your money is used?Your money goes a long way in Nepal, and we are committed to insuring that each US Dollar / Euro / Rupee is spent wisely and effectively. Your donation of € 180 / US$ 250 dollars provides all that is necessary for worthy student to attend a quality private school for one year.
*Average Currency rate : 1 EUR = 85 NPR / 1 USD = 70 NPR Your donation of € 180 / US$ 250 dollars represents the average cost of educating one child. Student tuition and other fees vary among schools and according to the student's grade level, and we receive tuition discounts from 10 to 25% from some schools. We pool all your donations and after putting aside 15% for operating costs, all other funds are used for the student scholarships. The Sponsorship obligation is for one year, but you may continue sponsoring your child's education for additional years if you wish. Benefits of Sponsorship

Nepal is struggling to provide even the most basic education to its children. A two-tiered system of poorly funded, ill-equipped Government schools, and expensive private schools, is creating a widening gap between wealthy and poor student, in education and in opportunity. Culture creates another gap, as families able to afford to educate only one child usually send a male to school, leading to a current literacy rate of about 70% for boys but less than 40% for girls.
