Renovation of a school in Nepal

The Prabhatschool in Sarongkot, a city in Nepal, educates 110 children who live in the Pokhara area. The school building didn’t really deserve to be called so. The roof was leaking, the walls were almost falling down and there was no daylight coming into the building.

The foundation SATHI Nepal (Special Attention to Himalayan Illiteracy) asked Window to the World to do something about this situation. With funds from several companies and a private foundation we were able to finance the necessary renovation. Now there is a building in which children can safely enjoy education.

Computer lessons for handicapped children in Russia

Vladimir Russia. An organization called SVET comprised of parents of 160 physically handicapped children wanted to run lessons in English and computer studies. The local hospital has offered a classroom and there are teachers present.



Window to the World provided computers, software, wheelchairs and a small bus suited for wheelchair transport. With this bus the children will be picked up from their homes and brought to their classes. They will have lessons twice a week for a period of three years. After finishing this training these young people will be able to give computer lessons themselves and they will be able to find a job. Window to the World has been able to support this project with financial gifts from foundations, companies and individuals.

Fundacao Padre Emilio Immoos

In Avaré, a medium sized city in Brazil a shelter for street children named Foundation Father Emilio Immoos has been founded. The shelter provides a roof for about 80 boys. They are all mentally handicapped and previously lived on the streets. Since for many of the boys there is no alternative they often stay in the shelter permanently. Next-door to the shelter there is a farm where the boys do agricultural work and learn skills like carpenters work or painting.



Window to the World supports this shelter and has sent medical equipment instruments for physiotherapy, computers, tools and sports goods. These goods are all very necessary because this foundation receives very little financial support from the local government whilst the support of Brazilian companies is decreasing.

Murales in Ecuador

Murales is the Spanish word for wall paintings or mural paintings, and is a well-known means of communication in Latin American countries. Murales brighten up the streets and they contain political, religious or educational messages. Working together with Maquipucuna (an organization for eco tourism) Window to the World has participated in a project in which murales had an important part.



On three primary schools pupils designed murales and painted them on the walls of their schools. The leading theme was: love and protect nature. The murales are brightening up the school buildings. Furthermore they educate children in a playful way that the surroundings are worth to be protected.
