Highlights

Sanga Sangai, meaning 'Together' is a local non-government organization that was established to provide education to children from low income families in an attempt to prevent them from becoming street children.
Due to significant poverty in areas of Nepal, many young children find themselves leaving school early to work and beg on the streets. These children work to support not only themselves, but often their families as well. It is an unfortunate cycle wherein parents were unable to finish school or pursue higher education and now do not have the opportunity to support their children, who subsequently need to drop out of school to work.
By providing a low-cost alternative to these children and instilling in them the importance of education we can hopefully improve the outlook for Nepal's many youth.
