Located in the Himalayas, in the Humla District, our boarding school serves 50 young Nepali girls. Our teachers instruct Science, Social Studies, Math, English, and Nepali. Humla is one of the poorest and most remote districts of Nepal and is home to 45,000 people. While this secluded region is rich in breathtaking scenery and Himalayan culture, most of the Humla district lacks basic development and infrastructure such as roads, irrigation and electricity. The hostel provides boarding, school uniforms, nutritious meals, a quality education, and leadership experiences for our students.
