Who we support

KINOE supports schools and education projects in India and Nepal.

INDIA

In India, where over 80% of our effort is concentrated, we work in partnership with a successful local educational project, The Akanksha Foundation. Over 4,000 children from the poorest slums are currently being helped, in 46 educational centres and 9 schools in Mumbai and Pune. This project has very effectively run non-formal educational centres for deprived children since 1990, and its work has been commended in evaluations by The Big Lottery Fund and by economists from Cambridge and Oxford Universities. In 2010 Akanksha won the NGO of the Year Award in India.

KINOE also supports Teach For India, which plans to end illiteracy in India within two decades.  Teach For India is recruiting some of India's top college graduates, as well as high-flying young professionals, to teach for two years before pursuing their chosen careers. 

NEPAL

KINOE sends funds to a school in the remote region of Mustang close to the Tibetan border. Established with KINOE funds in 2000, the school provides vocational training in traditional Tibetan medicine, as well as a conventional syllabus to around 30 deprived children.

KINOE also sponsors eight children at a boarding school in Kathmandu. Most of the children have lost one or both their parents and, without our help, would get no education.

In addition, KINOE gives some support to a scheme to help trafficked girls in Kathmandu, enabling them to learn basic skills and find employment.

KINOE gives some funding to two orphanages in Kathmandu to provide a healthy environment for homeless children.
