Kareena Thing is ten years old. She is studying at Shree Jana Jagriti Secondary School in fifth grade and lives in the Makawanpur District. She is a very charismatic child, bright and with a contagious smile, but her family has been through very difficult times.

Her father, Ram Krishna, has not been in contact for years now. In 2014, he went to Malaysia for foreign employment but has never sent home any remittance or kept in contact with his family since he left. There are currently 700,000 Nepalese migrant workers in Malaysia. There is a slight possibility that he could be one of the average of nine Nepali migrant workers in Malaysia dying every week.

Rovi Maya, Kareena’s mother, is now working as a labourer to maintain the family. She is very determined to give her children education. However, her income is not sufficient to cover the costs of her children’s studies. For this reason, CMIR has selected Kareena to receive a scholarship to support Rovi Maya in fulfilling her desire to give her children the education they deserve.

This year we have managed to give scholarships to fifteen children with a life story similar to Kareena’s. We are seeking to increase the number of scholarships available to twenty-five. This is why we created this fundraising campaign. We would like to raise as much money as possible to give children like Kareena the opportunity to pursue careers and bright futures instead of having their choices restricted to farming or foreign employment. Your contribution is fundamental for the future of these kids and your generosity will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Find here the link to donate to our organisation, which creates the scholarships for these children like.
