Who we Support
Human Development and Community Services
HDCS is a faith-based NGO in Nepal. Established in 1991 it focuses on three main areas of work, health, education and community development.
HDCS has many projects across Nepal, mainly working in rural regions providing services that benefit the whole community. You can find out more on the HDCS website.
Kathmandu International Study Centre (KISC)
KISC was established in 1987 as a small study centre for children of mission and development workers in Nepal. Now it is a culturally diverse educational institution with approximately 220 students from around 20 different nations. Aside from the school, part of the work of KISC is KISC EQUIP. EQUIP works mostly in rural areas of Nepal, helping to raise the quality of education in schools that are often understaffed and under-resourced. EQUIP primarily engages teachers but also works with students, parents, school management committees, and the local community to encourage a mindset that everyone has an important role in improving education in Nepal.
KISC is a project of HDCS.
