 An education pioneer born into rural poverty in Nepal has opened 30 schools in a bid to boost 
prospects for his country’s children.
 The World Bank ranks Nepal as the globe's 31st poorest country, with almost 10 million people 
living on daily incomes between £1.48 and £2.50. Many rural villages remain unreached by government 
schooling and adult literacy stood at just 60 percent in 2011. Surya Karki and his charity United World 
Schools Nepal (UWS) are tackling high illiteracy and poverty rates by funding and improving education.
 The first school opened in 2015. Since then 92 percent of children have completed primary 
education, which finishes at age eight, and continued into secondary education with UWS schools, in 
comparison to 39 percent of students continuing education who attended government schools.
 Mr Karki was born into poverty in rural Nepal. Speaking to the Telegraph he said: "School is the 
only solution to the poverty cycle that we live in. I was raised by a single mother in a male- dominated 
society. The school that I went to was approximately two hours walk away. My house was on top of a 
hill and my mother had to drag me across rivers. We used to walk 10 miles a day. The schooling was 
really bad."
 Karki’s mother was a firm believer in education, and at age eight Karki secured a scholarship to 
study in the capital, Kathmandu. From there he won scholarships and completed Master’s degrees in 
China and the United States. He returned to Nepal in 2015 and decided to stay and develop the education 
system. Karki said: "Inequalities in a country can only be decreased if there is access to knowledge.”
 The devastating earthquake in 2015 damaged 9,300 schools, displacing hundreds of thousands of 
families and pushing 700,000 people into poverty. As of January 2018, only 2,891 schools had been 
rebuilt. Karki said: "We came at a crucial time, where we could redo or undo what had been done badly. 
Education was really bad in terms of infrastructure, quality of teachers and training. It was an opportunity 
for us to really make things better.”
 UWS Nepal has so far built 30 schools and has seven more in construction. The schools run between 
10 am and 3:30 am and have an 86 percent average attendance rate, which Karki says is almost double 
the attendance rate for government schools in the vicinity. Sexual health classes are taught to the children 
in the later years.
