When children are encouraged to ask questions, work together, explore ideas, and learn through play, these everyday moments help children strengthen their foundational skills.

Across more than 600 community schools, teachers participating in the Build the Basics project are using learner-centred remedial teaching approaches to meet children at their current learning level. With the support of interactive, play-based activities, classrooms are creating more opportunities for every child to participate, learn, and grow.

Today, on World Youth Skills Day, we celebrate the potential of young people, especially in Nepal, where youth make up a significant share of the population. Despite facing high unemployment and limited access to opportunities, young people continue to demonstrate resilience, innovation, and determination to build better futures.

At Street Child of Nepal, we are committed to ensuring every young person has the opportunity to thrive. Through our She Leads project, we support young married girls—some as young as 15—to build sustainable livelihoods by providing vocational and business skills training, mentorship, and the resources needed to establish viable enterprises.

We celebrate the resilience, ambition, and potential of the youth. By continuing to invest in their skills and expanding access to opportunities, we can help build more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable communities where every young person has the chance to succeed!

Beyond the Basics successfully delivered Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) teacher trainings across six municipalities in Madhesh and Karnali provinces this year. A total of 454 teachers completed the five-day training, gaining practical skills to deliver learner-centered literacy and numeracy lessons through 35 numeracy and 18 literacy activities. Some of the training sessions were also observed by representatives from the Center for Education and Human Resource Development (CEHRD), including Director General Mr. Ana Prasad Neupane. Their participation highlights the importance of strengthening collaboration to improve foundational literacy and numeracy and reflects a shared commitment to supporting evidence-based approaches that help every child reach their full learning potential.

TaRL is an evidence-based approach that groups children according to their learning level, helping teachers provide the right support at the right time so no child is left behind. This work is especially important in Nepal, where many children continue to struggle with foundational literacy and numeracy.

As teachers begin implementing TaRL in their classrooms, we look forward to seeing impactful results. With teachers, local governments, and education partners like Aasaman Nepal working together, we're creating stronger learning environments where every child has the opportunity to build essential foundational skills.

Since 2023, Street Child of Nepal, in partnership with Aasaman Nepal and with the support of the Hempel Foundation, has implemented the Build the Basics programme across 690 community schools in 29 local governments, reaching more than 36,000 students and 1,800 teachers.

Working alongside CEHRD under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (now the Ministry of Education and Sports-Nepal), the programme contributes to Nepal's Recovery and Accelerated Learning (REAL) Plan, supporting efforts to address learning gaps and strengthen foundational learning outcomes.

This documentary offers a glimpse into classrooms across Karnali and Madhesh, where Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) is being adapted to strengthen foundational literacy and numeracy. It follows teachers rethinking how they engage learners, students rebuilding confidence, and communities working together to support better learning opportunities for every child.

With special thanks to the Hempel Foundation for its support and to our partner Aasaman Nepal for their dedication and commitment on the ground.

There is no better day than the International Day of Play to share Build the Basics documentary. Watch how teacher's use play-based and interactive learning approaches to help children engage, learn, and strengthen foundational skills in schools. Build the Basics continues to support remedial learning in schools while strengthening teachers and school systems to improve and sustain learning outcomes.

We are pleased to present She Leads documentary that follows the lives of women like Riya as they take meaningful steps towards building their own small-scale businesses and shaping a more secure future for themselves and their families.

Filmed over eight months, the documentary captures their lived experiences, aspirations, and reflections as they engage with the programme and navigate the realities of entrepreneurship, financial decision-making, and finding greater voice within their households and communities. Through their stories, the film offers an intimate glimpse into the opportunities, challenges, and learning that have shaped their journeys.

At the heart of the documentary is Riya, a young mother with a clear vision: to establish her own tailoring business. While balancing family responsibilities and the demands of everyday life, she continues to invest in her future through life skills education support and financial literacy training. Through moments from her daily life, we witness her determination, resilience, and the quiet strength with which she is working towards a better future for her children.

Alongside Riya, women such as Shivasati, Bimala, and Anu are also navigating similar paths. Coming from rural communities, they are challenging limitations, building confidence, and redefining what is possible for themselves and their families. Their journeys remind us that empowerment is not a single moment, but a process shaped by courage, learning, support, and persistence.

Special thanks to our partner, Janaki Women Awareness Society, for their invaluable support throughout the project.

Street Child of Nepal in collaboration with the Center for Education and Human Resource Development (CEHRD) organised a five-day Training of Trainers (TOT) on Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL). Bringing together 38 roster trainers from local governments, Provincial Education Training Centers, Aasaman Nepal, and Street Child of Nepal, the training strengthened the capacity of master trainers to effectively implement TaRL in schools. Through a participatory and practice-based approach, participants enhanced their understanding of foundational literacy and numeracy, student assessment techniques, competency-based grouping, and classroom facilitation—building a stronger foundation for improved learning outcomes for children across Karnali and Madhesh Provinces.

A warm welcome to the AIN Education Working Group at Street Child of Nepal!

Street Child of Nepal and implementing partner Aasaman Nepal recently came together to review the progress of the third year (April 2025 – March 2026) of Build the Basics and to plan for the fourth year (April 2026 – March 2027). The event provided an opportunity to reflect on key achievements, assess progress against targets, and identify ongoing challenges. Aasaman’s Executive Director, Nawal Kishor Yadav, joined the discussions, emphasizing the importance of joint efforts in driving meaningful impact in education.

The event also focused on shaping the next phase of the project, including the introduction of a Government-Led delivery model in Karnali Province, along with updated targets and strengthened M&E frameworks. Participants engaged with updated tools and approaches, and reviewed the TaRL training package to better understand its evolving structure and delivery in collaboration with the Center for Education and Human Resource Development (CEHRD).

As the team moves forward into the fourth year of Build the Basics in Madhesh and Karnali provinces, the shared reflections and learnings will help guide more focused, adaptive, and collaborative efforts to strengthen implementation and deepen impact.

With the support of The Hempel Foundation, over the past year we reached 36,000+ students, trained 1,800+ teachers, and supported more than 600 community schools. This year, we continued to build on that progress, strengthening implementation and deepening our reach through more focused and adaptive approaches.

We are deeply grateful to the Hempel Foundation for their continued trust and partnership in advancing learning outcomes for children across Nepal.

Local Government level advocacy meetings under the project brought together teachers, Education Officers, Chief Administrative Officers, Deputy Mayors/Vice Chairpersons, Mayors/Chairpersons, and other local representatives, along with education stakeholders across seven local governments in Madhesh and Karnali provinces, to reflect on what has changed in classrooms.

Discussions during the meetings highlighted improvements in students’ learning levels, as well as shifts in teaching practices, with teachers increasingly adapting lessons to match students’ learning needs. “Although this was a short-term programme, it has made a meaningful difference in improving students’ learning levels,” said Mayor Chandra Prakash Gharti of Bheri Municipality, Jajarkot. “Assessment results show clear progress, and teachers have also found the approach effective. We are committed to continuing and strengthening this work in the coming academic year.”

Over the course of the project, 36,104 students were reached, and 1,835 teachers across 690 community schools were trained. As the project comes to a close, local governments and education stakeholders are looking ahead, identifying ways to integrate the TaRL approach into school improvement plans and municipal programmes, ensuring that these gains continue and expand in the years to come.
