Providing education to the underprivileged is the first step in breaking the cycle of Poverty Their answer suprised him.
We are a small collective of caring friends of James Spence ,the lone aussie who fell while climbing a mountain in 2001. After being cared for by tibetan refugees for 3 weeks then was airlifted to pokhara were he spent the next 3 months recovering in hospital.
12 years later on a return trip to Nepal he came across some young boys in a back lane of Kathmandu. They were huddled around a smokey fir
e feeding the fire with plastic to keep themselves warm they had no wood or paper only plastic. He wanted to help these kids he knew he would have to give more than just blankets- he provided what he could on that journey. In 2015 he returned to help in the recovery after the devastating earthquakes hit in April of that year. He found the children again and on his last month in Nepal that year he asked the children did any want to go to school ? They told him that they (8-10 year olds ) were too old to go to school and that their younger brothers and sisters should go . So James managed to start off by sending 7 children to school with his own money . After a while this became unsustainable And so FTEN - Freedom Through Education Nepal was born
We are 100% NFP all proceeds go directly to FTEN there are no middle men. We have only one paid Nepal worker and he is the project manager in Kathmandu
