The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight international development goals that all 192 United Nations member states and at least 23 international organizations have agreed to achieve by the year 2015.The MDG were developed out of the eight chapters of the United Nations, signed in September 2000. There are eight goals with 21 targets, and a series of measurable indicators for each target.

We, Himalayan Hope Home is currently working for breaking the culture of silence through education. In March, 2010, Himalayan Hope Home and HFTN-Canada entered into a partnership to address Millennium Development Goal #3, “Gender equality in education and the empowerment of women,” in the Solukhumbu district of Nepal. The objective is to bring positive change in the educational sector, responding to local educational needs.

Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the globe & recently World Bank has also ranked as a 12th poorest country in the world. The one of the most powerful reason for this can be considered gender discrimination because of lack of education for women there exist, power imbalance, economic inequality, social stigma, exclusion, suppression, restriction, disrespect of women’s works and high dropout rate in higher education etc.

The gender discrimination can only end when girls and women can freely exercise freedom of education; we are taking our action against Gender discrimination at the very grass root level. We mobilize mothers, adolescent girls, girls in school and girls who are not in school.

Mothers who have never been to school were given literacy classes, provided health and nutrition education for behavior change, given leadership training, formed community mothers and girls group for constant discussion and sharing of their needs and ideas for change.

In recent years, more development aid than ever before has been directed at women — but that doesn't mean it is reaching the girls who need it. Across much of the developing world, by the time she is 12, a girl is tending house, cooking, cleaning. She eats what's left after the men and boys have eaten; she is less likely to be vaccinated, to see a doctor, to attend school, but now our movement will be against all those odds that is silencing voice and choice of girls.
