Sachina
In 2022, we requested special attention in our fund applications for Sachina, a promising pupil of the after-school program SHCOP. She could and desperately wanted to continue her studies, but her family could not possibly finance this. Fortunately, we have managed to raise sufficient funds and Sachina can start her further education in 2023: PCL Nursing.
Sachina and her sister Sabina symbolize many more girls and boys who we already help with a scholarship or who we would really like to help. The sisters have been regular visitors to the SCHOP, which we support. They are now mainly active there as enthusiastic volunteers.
The girls came to the program in 2015because the village where they grew up was completely destroyed during the earthquakes. Miraculously, they, their mother and brother survived. Unfortunately, their father did not. They fled to Kathmandu, where life was and is not easy for them. The family is poor and in Nepal there is no support for single parents.
Fortunately, there was room for the sisters and their brother at the after-school program where they received the necessary support (care, nutrition, attention, homework guidance). Partly because of this, the girls were able to complete their secondary school education in a glorious manner.
Sachina and Sabina are very smart girls who enjoy learning. They are therefore very keen to continue their studies. Not only for themselves but especially to support their mother and brother and improve their lives. When they finish studying, they go to work and want to contribute to their brother’s further education and make their mother’s life a little easier. Paying it forward!
