It is our vision, through education, to enable students to make viable, sustainable, and ethical choices regarding their future.
The Nepal Project
Namaste [Welcome]
This project began two years ago when Executive
Director Troy Harris visited Nepal for the first time. He learned
of the educational struggles in this developing nation and felt the
desire to make a difference. After establishing the Canadian World
Education Society he was soon in Nepal commencing construction of
the initial school.
CanWES has now celebrated it's second year of operation. We're constantly working toward developing our project in Nepal, and it looks like the Everest English School is progressing at a managable pace. Our first year of operation saw 124 students and 10 staff members. This current session has 160 students and 12 staff. Sanitar village is certainly happy and appreciative for the oportunity that CanWES is able to provide for the village.
Recent News
CanWES has officially been awarded CHARITABLE STATUS which means we are now able to begin providing donors with a tax receipt for their generous contributions. This will allow CanWES to increase the support that we are able to provide to the staff and students of the Everest English School. It is our hope that an increase in donations will allow us to construct our next building, increasing a grade every year for the next 5 years, and prevent these students from having to travel 2 hours each day to receive the quality education they deserve.
