  Asian Paints- Supporting the Cause of Education

  May 12, 2011
  

  Asian Paints (Nepal) Pvt. Limited, a leading paint company in Nepal along with its employees has spread the colour of happiness among children of the single women by providing them educational support. This social initiative of Asian Paints and the effort of its employees were towards enlightening the future of the children through their 'Access to Education', being one of their fundamental rights and the basis for leading an independent life.

  Many children are dropped out of school because of untimely death of their father and due to their poor economic condition. With this necessity to support those children in preventing them from being deprived of education, WHR established a program component – Opportunity Fund. It aims at empowering the single women and their children, who are at risk of poverty, discrimination and violence by providing scholarships for their education through formal and non formal channels.
   
  Every year, WHR has been providing scholarship support to 200 children of single women through the Opportunity Fund.
   

  Among them, for the year 2068 B.S., 50 children are being supported by the company and 29 by the employees.

   
  The employees and the number of children who are being supported are as following:
