CLCR's Future in Nepal

CLCR's Vision - A Violence-free Nepali Classroom

The following concepts are some of what we are looking at trying to achieve within Nepal in the future. Whilst our school and education based projects are our major priority we do have plans for further development within the country.


We have now established a CLCR branch in Nepal as a further NGO body (CLCR Nepal) to extend our reach and further our opportunity for positive intervention into the lives of underprivileged children. We will also utilise this body as an opportunity to extend the school project and focus upon the following in an effort t o bring long term social change to Nepal.

Create a network of in country and global organisations to work with the Nepalese Government and the Ministry of Education’s legal sector in an effort to eradicate corporal punishment within all schooling sectors. The current law that states that it is illegal to use violence against children when disciplining them, this has not stopped the long ingrained practice of physical beatings in classrooms. Basically we want this situation changed in an effort to make schools a safe place for kids to learn, have fun and not live in fear.

CLCR's scope of works includes two major schools, two major tertiary education colleges and a specilaist women's health care clinic. Our fourth area of expansion encopasses an accredited teachers training facility so that we can be more effective at directly training the teachers of Nepal in teaching methods of non-violence on a much larger, more effective scale. At present we utilise both Heartland Academy (Kathmandu) and the Heartland Centre for Women (Kathmand) sites as hubs for the delivery of high impact teacher education programs, with a strong focus on pisitive behaviour management, high quality tecahibg and learning practices and Early Childhood education. Each professional learning program runs for 2-3 days and are delivered in house as well as scaled for delivery in school settings across the country. We partner with private schools, colleges, early education centres and government sector to enhance the qualty of teaching in schools in Nepal and support capacity building with a specific focus on violece free student management techniques. We truly believe that education is the key to creating a better Nepal, to educate those that can make a difference and who are the next generation of the country. That’s our vision for a safer country.

If you as an organisation are interested in the CLCR team delivering one of these programs at a setting or as apartner would like to explore partnership/ donor opportunities then please reach us on the details within our Contacts page.
