Student Spotlight: Ram

HCC’s Benighat Student Relief Project began in 2021 to help families in the rural and impoverished Benighat community of Dhading, Nepal. The Project provides children with school supplies, clothing, hygiene materials and food relief packages for their families. Since the start of the Project our team in Nepal have completed over a dozen supply distributions helping over 300 children in five different elementary schools.

Last month, HCC began working with a new elementary school in the area that supports a large number of children from the marginalized, indigenous Chepang community. In mid-February we distributed warm clothing (socks, sweaters, wool hats), school supplies (language & math workbooks, writing utensils and a geometry box), and personal care items (toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap & shampoo) to 310 new students. 

Students and their families expressed heartfelt gratitude for the support provided. HCC extends sincere thanks to all participants, including the school administration, local authorities, and dedicated team members, for making this project a success. Together, we continue to empower students through education and holistic support.
