The Small World is a not-for-profit charitable organization supporting locally driven sustainable community development projects.
These projects provide not only education for children - especially young girls at risk from exploitation - but also remove traditional barriers to girls' education, create empowerment scenarios for local communities, and ultimately help to end deep-rooted cycles of poverty.
Our mission is to educate, inspire and empower people to change the world.
Paying Forward
Ahead of #FathersDay, Michelle Obama shared on her social media that she is moved by this story from Dechhen about her dad’s work to educate girls in Nepal through The Small World—an organization that is part of our Girls Opportunity Alliance. As Dechen says, “My dad tells me to dream big, and I do. I’m proud that The Small World is helping girls in Nepal to chase their dreams, too.”
The Friends of Arhaus Children’s Home
The Friends of Arhaus Children's Home is the first home of its kind in the Everest region to provide a safe and quality place to live, especially for orphaned, abandoned, and highly vulnerable children at severe risk from trafficking, forced child labor, and other serious abuses.
Girl's Education in Nepal
Breaking Down the Barriers to Education For Girls
At The Small World, we envision a world where every girl and boy has equal access and opportunity to attend school and receive an education. To realize this dream, and to end the gender gap in education in remote villages of Solukhumbhu, we built the first-of-its-kind Girls' Dorm for higher education.
Seeds of Hope,
Agriculture Support Program
The coronavirus pandemic sparked both a health and economic crisis; together, they became a serious ongoing threat to food security for disadvantaged communities, single mothers, and low-income families in the remote and fragile Himalayan villages of the Solukhumbhu District. In response to these issues, The Small World launched a special program, the Seeds of Hope, to promote, educate, and support food sustainability for these impoverished villages.

Sponsor A Child
We believe that to educate a child is to educate the world. In Nepal, the opportunities for a child's education are greatly jeopardized by many factors with children seldom receiving this gift. Our Child Education Sponsorship Program is a great way to help, even for one child’s future.
At The Small World, our Child Education Sponsorship Program is deeply rooted within and bonded to the child's family, school, and community. This framework ensures a positive and supportive background that ripples throughout the children’s lives, benefiting them as well as their relationships.
