The Sankhu-Palabari Community School (SPCS), established in 1999, provides free education to Nepalese children who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to go to school. This program prevents child labor in Kathmandu Valley's Sankhu-Palubari community by providing an alternative to child labor. The school is a partnership between the teaching staff, the local community, The Advocates for Human Rights, and our Nepali administrative partner, Educate the Children.

The school provides a free education, uniform, books, and a daily meal to about 350 students in grades pre-K through 10. The Advocates and its partners have acheived the goal of gender parity with girls making up 52 percent of enrolled students.
