The Nepal School Project provides a free elementary education to Nepalese children in order to promote education as an alternative to child labor. To enable children to attend school regularly, the project also provides one meal per day to each child.

In Sankhu, a village located about one hour by bus from the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu, more than 50% of the village's 10,000 residents are unemployed.  Because public schools in Nepal require tuition, many parents cannot afford to send their children to school. As a result of the high rate of unemployment and the lack of free education in their village, an estimated 20% of children between age nine and fourteen leave Sankhu and their families to enter into child labor in Kathmandu.
