Even in the poorest countries children want to go to school.

We fund scholarships.

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).
