Humla Scholarship Program

Since 2014, BTF Humla has been dedicated to fostering education in the Humla district of Nepal by sponsoring girls from disadvantaged backgrounds. Our scholarship criteria include selecting girls from very low-income families, belonging to marginalized castes, and showing a strong enthusiasm for their future aspirations. Currently, many BTF Humla scholarship recipients are pursuing careers as nurses and lab technicians. Additionally, we provide partial sponsorships to children who are unable to afford additional fees and stationery.

Supporting Schools in Humla

BTF Humla is committed to enhancing the educational environment in Humla by supplying schools with essential items such as stationery, sports equipment, and other necessary goods.

Rebuilding Schools in Listi

In response to the massive earthquake in Nepal, BTF Humla played a crucial role in rebuilding the school in Listi village, Sindhupalchok. We constructed a new school with five classrooms, along with toilet and bathroom facilities, ensuring a safe and conducive learning environment.

Setting Up Tented Classrooms in Banskharka

Following the earthquake, Banskharka school’s building became unsafe and unusable. BTF Humla promptly established tented classrooms to ensure the continuity of education for the students.

Providing Solar Power to Schools and Hostels in Humla

BTF Humla successfully installed solar power systems in schools and hostels in Simikot, Humla, addressing the electricity needs and supporting a better learning environment.

Distributing Reusable Sanitary Pads and Underwear

Since 2014, BTF Humla has been distributing reusable sanitary pads and underwear to girls in various village schools, including Bargaun, Buraunse, Raya, and Yangchu. This initiative aims to improve menstrual hygiene and reduce absenteeism among girls.

Educating on Menstruation and Ending Chhaupadi Practice

BTF Humla is actively involved in educating communities about menstruation and combating the harmful Chhaupadi practice, where girls are isolated during their periods. We engage with parents and elders to dispel myths and promote safer, healthier practices. As a result, many communities have abandoned the traditional Chhaupadi system.
