Due to prevalent gender inequalities, women in rural Nepal often face barriers to becoming teachers. Classrooms in the Clouds sponsors and trains female teachers in the Solukhumbu region, building the skills, confidence and experience needed for sustainable careers that inspire the next generation.

In rural Nepal, gender inequality and limited access to education prevent many capable women from pursuing professional teaching careers. Formal qualification routes and testing often disadvantage women, particularly in remote regions such as the Solukhumbu. This results in a shortage of well-trained female teachers and a lack of visible role models for girls in schools.
Classrooms in the Clouds runs a teacher sponsorship programme that identifies motivated women based on character and potential, not formal qualifications alone. We provide structured training, ongoing mentoring and supported teaching roles within local schools. This enables women to build skills, confidence and professional experience, progress towards government teaching exams and secure long-term, sustainable employment.
