Supporting Programs
Technical Trade School supports Little Sisters pursuing technical trade degrees in STEM fields such as engineering, dental hygiene, nursing, laboratory technology, radiology, IT and more. These degrees empower Little Sisters to gain independence, job security and higher income generation skills, which assist in overcoming gender barriers and multi-generational poverty in Nepal.
Technical Trade School supports Little Sisters who have completed 10th grade and choose to go straight into a 3-year STEM (technical) degree program. This enables Little Sisters to graduate with employable skills in well-paying fields a full three years earlier than the traditional university path. Technical Trade School is especially beneficial for Little Sisters most in need of contributing to improve their family's financial situation.
