Scholarship Programme
In the summer of 2012 Lamu Tsering, Karma Choesang and Sonam Wangdu finished primary school in Jharkot, a high mountain village in the Anapurna region, and wanted to study further. But they couldn’t. Their parents, as most of parents in Nepal, were not able to pay for further education of their children.
We have decided to give them a chance.
The Better Future Scholarship programme is aimed at maturing children who, despite many material limitations, are ready to begin studying in middle or professional schools. In financing their education we help them to materialize their dreams of profesional careers, we give them possiblity of better life, we enable them to preserve their cultural identity.
How You Can Help?
Small sums add up
- make regular payments for a child
$87 – that’s the average monthly cost of schooling for one of our scholars. Staying in a boarding school is a monthly obligation lasting several years. That’s why even a small amount paid regularly can be vital.
Level the playing field
- become a scholarship funder
You can fund an annual scholarship for one of our charges. The monthly cost depends on the school and amounts 70, 81 or 115 dollars. Paymants can be made once a month, once a quarter or once a year.
Get to know our students and check who doesn't have a permanent sponsor.
One times many is a lot
- make a deposit to the scholarship fund
$9,300 – that’s the total tuition fees for our scholars in the 2014/15 school year. Even a one-off donation is very important to us, since it goes to the Better Future Scholarship fund to help cover those costs.

The Schools Faraway Foundation was established in 2011. The story began innocently – it was lucky coincidence that little girl from Krakow celebrated her eighth birthday in a school for Tibetan children from the Himalayan province of Mustang in Nepal. It soon became clear that the joyful, helpful and friendly students of Jharkot could not be forgotten and the success of the first spontaneous charity event “Survive Winter in the Himalayas” encouraged further actions.
Since 2012 we are financing the study of adolescents from Mustang in post-primary and vocational schools. To tell about their world we organize exhibitions, workshops and readings.

Friends of the foundation:
The portal Peron4.pl has taken us under its wing and has actively joined in on promoting the idea of our foundation.
We owe our website to the studio Webchefs.
We are grateful to the company Lacrosse for the English version of our website.
The travel agency Opal Travel gives us constant support.
Thanks to the Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technique, we were able to exhibit the work of the Italian photographer and conservator of Buddhist sacral art, Luigi Fieni.
Without the support of the organizers of the Three elements Travel Festival and the involvement of many other people, the Robb Maciąg Viewers Fund Scholarships auction would not have been possible.
Teachers from the Jacek Kuroń Middle School No. 12 in Poznan and their Parents’ Board have supported our scholarship budget on a number of occasions.
With Małgorzata Tlałka we organized the skiing competition Nepal Days in the Tatras, which would not have been possible without help from AMC (the distributor of PETZL products in Poland) and Xlander (a manufacturer of children’s strollers and products for active parents).
