Rasuwa: protecting childhood, nurturing the future

Start your sponsorship now

In Rasuwa, supporting one child means supporting an entire community.

Rasuwa is a remote, mountainous district home to around 43,000 people. Most families depend on subsistence farming and livestock, with harvests that are often insufficient to last the entire year.

Poverty here is severe: 41% of the population lives in food insecurity, and 31% of children under the age of five are underweight and at risk of stunted growth.

In Rasuwa, school is not only a place of learning. It is often the only space of protection, stability, and hope for hundreds of children.

A place that offers both nutritional and social support, where children can find a hot meal and the care of classmates and teachers.
In 2015, a devastating earthquake struck the area, destroying almost all buildings and leaving deep social and economic scars.

Even today, many families continue to live in precarious conditions, and school dropout rates—especially among girls—remain very high.

It is within this context that ASIA’s schools in Rasuwa were established: safe, welcoming spaces designed to protect children and give them a real chance for a better future.

Today, more than 400 girls and boys study here. They learn, play, and grow. And, above all, they stay safe.
To continue their education, however, they need concrete support.
Distance sponsorship makes all of this possible: access to food and clean water, learning materials, trained teachers, protection, and opportunities.

In Rasuwa, supporting one child means supporting an entire community. It means planting the seeds for future generations and safeguarding tomorrow for everyone.

Together we can offer education to Nepalese and tibetan children, preserve their cultural roots and cover their basic needs.

If they attend school, they are also protected from child trafficking and labor, particularly in Nepal. Education is the key in order to give these children their stolen future. Take them by the hand.

If you think about it … it is less than the cost of a cup of coffee.

Start a Long Distance Sponsorship with ASIA and you will receive the personal story and the photo of the child you will be supporting.

You will also have the chance to know her/him personally through the exchange of letters and photos and by visiting the schools we support in ASIA.

What we can do together

Support the education of Tibetan children and protect them from child labour

Ensure gender equality in Himalayan schools

Offer the young monks trainings in harmony with their cultural roots

Fund a scholarship for students from Tibet or other remote Himalayan communities

Now, in the process of writing my first letter to Yantso Kyid, I will tell her about my life here in NYC, mostly a good life, but lots of hard work... Sometimes you lose the meaning of it all, so knowing that through my support I can change someone's life for the better, warms my heart & really makes my day.
Curzio
I have known ASIA by chance. Unlike other similar initiatives, I was struck by the "target" of children to be distance supported: those of Tibet, the "roof" of the world, perhaps children more in need than others.
Adriana
While we were visiting the school Karma showed us the teaching programmes that the various classes were following. We were very struck by the fact that the children were learning three languages: Nepalese in order to live in their host country, English to live in the world to come and Tibetan not to forget their roots.
Maria Rosaria
It moves me greatly to have done such a small thing for me, but very important and big for Ma Jiu Cao. I am very proud of her... and of myself too! And I hope that it will help for her future.
Monica
When we went into the building, little Tenzin, the child I have sponsored for more than a year at the Manasarovar primary school, was waiting for us at the door: handsome, very thin and with shining eyes.
Barbara
Upon my arrival, the reception was very warm, as the Tibetan tradition wants. With joy I had the chance to see that Tenzin used the opportunity given to him in the best possible way.
Alberto
My family and I went to meet Tenzin, the little girl we support through ASIA in India. We returned with a suitcase full of smiles, kindness, gratitude, respect, sharing, love.
