Building Computer Lab

in Nepal! 

City Kids visited PA Nepal, a school for the children of prison inmates. PA Nepal supports hundreds of children in a country where the government offers little in the way of a safety net.

City Kids helped PA Nepal set up a computer lab, where children can access the World Wide Web. This opens up the possibilities for what the children do after they leave the school. As international projects go, PA Nepal is an impressive one — locally founded, female run, and incredible impacts. The head of the local middle/high school said PA Nepal graduates often do better than the children of non-inmates. City Kids is proud to support their work.
