Leave No Children Behind in Education (RISE) Project

"

The Leave No Children Behind in Education (RISE) initiative is dedicated to fostering inclusive education for children with disabilities within Budhanilkantha and Godawari Municipalities in Nepal. This project aligns with Nepal’s constitutional commitment to education for all, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4, which emphasizes inclusive and equitable quality education. Our vision is a society where every child, regardless of their abilities, has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential through access to quality education in an inclusive environment. This initiative aims to create a learning environment where all children feel welcomed, supported, and valued.
