GlobalGiving Project of the Month Club

Change doesn’t always arrive loudly. In Birgunj, Nepal, it has come through years of quiet persistence—through classrooms, safe beds, late-night helpline calls, and the belief that no child should be left to grow up on the streets.

This February, our Project of the Month Club grant is fueling this work through Our Sansar, an organization that has worked since 2013 to support children who live and work on the streets.

When the organization began its work, more than 150 children were sleeping on the streets of Birgunj. Today, that number has significantly decreased—an outcome shaped by years of steady, community-rooted care.

Despite the immense progress, many children still spend their days working or begging with their families, navigating poverty and risk from an early age. Our Sansar is determined to keep meeting these realities with care and consistency. Through its Children’s Home and Child Helpline, the organization provides shelter, education, protection, and family reunification whenever possible. Beyond residential care, the team works extensively in surrounding communities—offering classes to hundreds of children, helping them step away from street life and toward learning, stability, and possibility.

Safety is only the first step. With education, skills training, and long-term support, children can begin to imagine futures shaped not by survival, but by choice—futures where independence, dignity, and joy are possible.

Being named Project of the Month comes as a source of encouragement for the team behind this work.

“With so many issues happening around the world at the moment and so many worthwhile causes working tirelessly to tackle those issues, we are very grateful to all our donors for believing in us and entrusting us to make a positive difference to the children’s lives.” — Our Sansar Team.

We echo their gratitude. Thank you for standing with children and families in Birgunj who are navigating extraordinary challenges with resilience and courage. Your support helps transform quiet persistence into lasting change—one child, one classroom, one safe night at a time.

This month, we’re highlighting a project driven by a clear and urgent belief: access to connectivity is access to opportunity.

Across Argentina, more than 17,000 schools lack adequate internet connectivity, cutting students off from modern learning tools and limiting their educational futures. Conecta por Argentina is working to close that gap. Through this initiative, schools gain satellite internet access alongside hands-on pedagogical training for teachers and school leaders. 

And Internet connection is just the beginning, because in classrooms where digital tools are integrated with purpose, students can build the confidence and creativity they need to thrive in today’s world.

And for the team behind this work, being named Project of the Month is both affirming and deeply motivating.

“We are incredibly honored to be selected as GlobalGiving’s Project of the Month. This recognition highlights the urgency of closing the digital divide in Argentina, where connectivity and teacher training can truly transform learning opportunities for entire school communities. Thanks to your collective support, we can continue empowering schools with internet access and 21st-century skills that open new educational trajectories for students.” — Verónica Cipriota, CEO of Enseña por Argentina

We echo Verónica’s gratitude. Thank you for standing with educators and students who are building more equitable, connected learning environments—one school at a time. Your support helps turn access into impact, and possibility into lasting change.
