What is "Euta Kitaab Euta Kaapi" and how can you help flourish education in Nepal?

With chaos still mongering in the soils of Nepal after the recent disaster that destroyed the lives of so many and engulfed many historical & cultural heritages, many organizations and individuals are still struggling to help stabilize the lives of people. Fear stuck, many people are still not comfortable sleeping in their houses. While many teachers and students also suffers the same I'd still considered them to be lucky for they have their schools in a working condition. Education in Nepal has always been facing challenges in Nepal with an literacy rate of only 56.6 %1, the recent earthquake has further added nothing but only obstacle for this developing country where child labor and child trafficking is still a major problem yet to be solved.

With a vision to provide aid for the unfortunate children who are unable to manage to go to school due to poverty and lack of resources, a local NGO from the city of Bhaktapur, My Earth Nepal (estd: 2011), initiated a project by the name  "Euta Kitaab Euta Kaapi" from 14th of June, 2015. Their mission, through this project is to make educational resources like stationery items, school bags, uniforms etc available to those who cannot afford. They began this project being focused in rural areas where, the only means of transportation is by foot and other NGOs haven't yet paid their visit or attention.
 

Currently, the organization is striving with funds collected from within the board members and a little help from their friends abroad which certainly is not going to sustain them for the life time of this project as they do not will to put a period on their mission by making it to only one place. Their dream is to reach out to all the needy hands in every corner of the nation and pave a way for an educated generation.

Before involving themselves in this project, My Earth Nepal actively worked in various relief program after the Earthquake on the 25th of April, 2015. Sanitation in temporary shelter was their prime focus as they were well aware of the possibilities of disease outbreaks in such conditions. They also teamed up with various other organizations to build semi-permanent shelters, distribute medical and food items, tents etc.

Despite with fewer hands to help, My Earth Nepal is walking strong towards rebuilding Nepal and hopes to gain attraction of passionate youths who are willing to devout their time and efforts to bring forth a positive change in Nepal.
If you are in Nepal, if you are willing to see positive change in Nepal and if you believe that change comes from within you, don't just share this news but be a part of it.
