Give the gift of education to one child for one year. Your help will provide uniforms, shoes, school bag, textbooks, stationary and two hours of tutoring each day after regular school, plus a hot lunch each school day for that child. The dZi Foundation has built a separate classroom that is used for the lunchroom and the tutoring. Without dZi's support, these children would not otherwise have this educational opportunity.

The dZi Foundation partners on this excellent program started by the Nepalese Opportunity Youth Foundation. Your funding will support one severely malnourished child and her mother for five weeks at the Nutritional Rehabilitation Home. Your contribution will provide all food, medical supplies, doctor visits and nutritional education classes bringing the child to 80% of their target weight. Once the child has returned to their village, three follow-up visits will be made to support the child's progress. The mother also takes her newly learned nutritional education back to the village to share with her community.
