HHC sponsors 40 children in school and 15 high school graduates in technical schools.

There are only two high schools in northern Dhading and most students stop after primary school due to lack of financial support to attend high schools which are outside their village.

In 2006/2007, we supported 23 girls, orphans and blacksmith children in the local schools and 15 in private schools in Kathmandu through the help of generous friends. So far 30 sponsored students have graduated from high school.

Many of the high school graduates are further supported when they attend technical schools and colleges. They receive training as health providers, teachers and other skilled technicians to take over the running of their village health posts, schools, and other services or trades in their villages. In the past students have been trained in carpentry, plumbing, tailoring, sewing, and knitting in the cities to provide services as well as income.

Costs:

Child at village school (fees, books, uniform, etc.) - $40 \ month (min. 1 yr.)

Child at Boarding school in Kathmandu - $100 \ month (min. 2 yr.)

Technical School - $200 to $300 \ month (total duration 1, 2 or 3 yrs.)
