🌟We're very excited to let you know that CITC has been selected to participate in Big Give's 'Small Charity Week' campaign running from Midday 22nd June - 5pm 29th June🌟
💪 Help us to raise our target of £10,000 which will be DOUBLED to £20,000 through Big Give's match funding and support female teachers in rural Nepal 💖
📚 Situation: In rural Nepal, gender inequality and limited access to education prevent many capable women from pursuing professional teaching careers. Formal qualification routes and testing often disadvantage women, particularly in remote regions such as the Solukhumbu. This results in a shortage of well-trained female teachers and a lack of visible role models for girls in schools.
🎯 Our Campaign: CITC runs a teacher sponsorship programme that identifies motivated women based on character and potential, not formal qualifications alone. We provide structured training, ongoing mentoring and supported teaching roles within local schools, sponsoring up to 30 female teachers at a time. This enables women to build skills, confidence and professional experience, progress towards government teaching exams and secure long-term, sustainable employment.
📅 What can you do?:
- Put a calendar reminder in your diary between 22nd - 29th June, adding this link: donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS00000CEiTiYAL📆
- Have your debit/credit card ready to make a donation 💳
*Please note, the donation button will appear on the campaign page when the campaign launches! #BigGive #SmallCharityWeek #teachersponsorship #EducationNepal

On this day in 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers confirmed to reach the summit of Everest. 🏔️
In the years that followed, Hillary worked alongside Sherpa communities to help build schools across the Khumbu region, creating opportunities for generations of children.🏫
A reminder that the most lasting achievements aren’t only measured in metres climbed, but in opportunities created.
We’re proud to continue supporting education in the Khumbu, where resilience, ambition and community remain as strong as the mountains themselves.🇳🇵 #EverestDay #SirEdmundHillary #TenzingNorgay #EducationNepal

Two heroes 🙏
Building work continues in the village of Garma where the 6 new classrooms are really taking shape with the earthquake-resistant structural work in place and the roof being finalised. 🏫 The project will also include an outdoor play area, gender-friendly toilets and a clean water system. So exciting to see the progress! #BuildingClassrooms #EarthquakeResistance #EducationNepal 🇳🇵

fantastic to see the work being done!
That's looking great. Looking forward to returning to see the new classrooms
Very impressive efforts as always 😍
That looks great , another great place for the children to learn .
Great to see the progress being made. This will make a huge difference to the education of the early years children. Currently they are in very cramped classrooms with very little space for their work.
