Gorkha Learning for Life is a charity dedicated to helping the people of Gorkha, Nepal, bring education and health to their children.
It has done this by raising money to build and run a school in the Pokharatok a village in Gorkha. We run a sponsorship scheme: pupils £15 per year - providing them with uniform, bags, books and tiffin (lunch). We also have syndicates that sponsor staff wages, and run a monthly clinic. We now support over 250 children to have an education, we run daily literacy classes for parents and provide nine members of staff - as well as a water tap, and toilets.

We need volunteers willing to teach at the school.
There are now six classes ranging from our reception/nursery cass to Year 5. The reception class is well resourced and our staff are beginning to enjoy working in a practical way. We have now resourced nine nurseries in the area, complete with lino, painting and resources. If you think you can help out in any of these areas we would love to hear from you.

You can sponsor a teacher, or a child, either as an individual, or as part of a syndicate.

You can support our projects fund by attending one of our fund-raisers, or by running an event of your own. The school is now complete. The old building will continue to be used for our nursery class, with an adult literacy/clinic room. 


We plan to resource all the non-private nursery classes and then begin to resource year 1 classes by providing practical resources to use along side their English teaching scheme. We wish to continue our work with GOAD a school for deaf children. We are currently investigating sponsoring toilets for all the families associated with our school, and in 2009 have started planning to build a hostel.
