This was extremely important during Covid-19 & lockdown since much schooling had to be done remotely. $2,000 grant b.Program Purpose: CCF understands the positive change that comes from empowering women and educating their daughters in Nepal. We have seen a lack of infrastructural support for women who are often the sole income earners for their entire extended families and the impact that this has had on their daughters, many of whom are taken out of school due to lack of sufficient family finances. The longer a girl is able to stay in school the longer she remains unmarried and the more choice she has in life. Around the world, girls face complex physical, cultural and financial barriers in accessing education. As a girl grows older the fight to get an education becomes even harder. Her family must have the ability to pay school fees and be willing to do so. The stipend program that CCF funds through ACP allows women to keep their daughter in school without drawing resources from the family. It has become one of the most valued social benefit programs at this organization. With the rise the Covid-19 virus and the subsequent lockdowns in Nepal it was even more imperative that these girls stay connected & in school, even if virtually, via the stipend program. One of the most difficult things about Covid-19 is that as family resources dwindled one of the first things to be cut were family investments in girls education. With the stipend families were able to keep girls in school without sacrificing their own depleted family funds. ACP Child Education Program (aka Power of 5 program): $11,316 grantEvery year CCF raises funds and makes a grant to ACP for their educational stipend program as well as for an endowment for the future of the program. ACP administers the fund to families that are struggling to keep their children in school, girls are the target, but boys will not be left out if there is need. For the stipend, each eligible family receives the stipend and in return provides monthly evidence of the childs attendance and progress in school. If the child is struggling or the family needs help with study issues or navigating the system, the administrative assistant/mentor is there to provide the family with resources. The result from this stipend is that 120 children (with an emphasis on girls) are staying in school. CCFs focus is keeping girls in school but some funding does go to boys education as long as the girls of the families in need are enrolled first. CCF and ACP have a goal to make this program financially stable so that each child that receives a stipend is given the chance to remain in school for the full 10 classes (if there is need). This has required ACP and CCF to plan and raise funds for an endowment. 2020 was the final year of CCFs commitment to raise extra funds for the endowment ($10,600 for future continuation and expansion of the program) along with the $14,040 for 117 students+ 360 yearly awards program. In 2020 due to Covid-19 and the pressing need for funds to deal with that crisis, CCF and ACP together decided that CCF would only raise funds to cover the educational stipends and not raise funds for the endowment. Instead we would do fundraising to help ACP as an organization stay alive during the extensive lockdown due to Covid-19. Therefore, in 2020 CCF only raised $11,316 for the educational stipends. Girls Higher Education Program (aka Joy Attwood scholarship program) Class 11/12: $2000 grant.This program is a merit and need based scholarship program that CCF started to fund in 2015 to encourage girls who had participated in the Power of 5 program (K-10) to continue on to class 11/12. This program provides 3 scholarships to outstanding girl scholars who have come out of the Power of 5 program and demonstrate need along with the ability and commitment to continue on with their education. The top scholar is provided with a $1000 scholarship and the 2nd and 3rd place recipients each receive a $500 scholarship. The emphasis of the scholarship is to provide opportunity to the most outstanding girls scholars with the greatest need but all applicants must have passed their Student Leaving Certificate (SLC) exams with distinction (80%). Since 2015 this higher education scholarship has benefitted 21 girls, some of whom have gone on to University. The girls who receive the scholarship are celebrated in the community and act as examples and mentors to the younger children in the Power of 5 program, showing them the abilities and accomplishments of girls who are given the chance to have an education. Child Education Administrator/Mentor Program: $2,000 grantThe funds granted for ACP to hire a mentor/program assistant came from the need for ACP to have more attention focused on the girls and children receiving the Power of 5 stipends and College Scholarships. Many of the girls involved in these programs live in families where many of the women and sometimes the men have very little schooling, if any at all. The difficulty then is that often no one in the family is familiar with navigating the educational system, scheduling time for homework, completing homework and finding resources for future learning. ACP uses the funds provided by CCF to hire a college educated young woman who can be a resource for the children and their families as well as help CCF understand how the program is performing. Prastuti Dhakal is the current assistant and loves helping the girls and their family. Her reporting helps us to provide information about the program to our donors as well.
