A PRECIOUS GIFT
CAP FOR A CAUSE
At Redbird, we believe in the transformative power of education. Partnering with the remarkable Pahar Trust Nepal, we've embarked on a mission to make a tangible difference in the lives of young students at Shree Surya Devi School, Nepal.
In Nepal, where 80% of the population lives in rural areas, the path to education is often filled with obstacles. In remote communities, families struggle with limited healthcare, the pull of urban migration, and the harsh realities of climate change. Yet, in the heart of one such village, Shree Surya Devi School shines as a beacon of hope, educating 188 bright young minds, including 98 girls, from Kindergarten through Grade 6.
Sadly, the journey for many students ends after Grade 6, as early marriage and the lack of secondary education force them to leave their dreams behind. But together, we can rewrite this story. Through Redbird's "Cap for a Cause" initiative, we're committed to providing school uniforms to every child at Shree Surya Devi School, transforming a simple garment into a symbol of hope, ambition, and the power to dream.
With your support, we aim to outfit all 188 students in the first year of this initiative, giving each child not just a uniform, but the confidence to continue their education and the courage to chase their dreams.
Nurturing Futures
THE POWER OF A UNIFORM
For the children of Shree Surya Devi School, a simple uniform is more than just clothing—it’s a beacon of hope. It represents the chance to stay in school, to belong, and to pursue dreams. Without a uniform, many students feel disconnected and are more likely to drop out.
By providing uniforms, we’re breaking down barriers, fostering equality, and giving these children the confidence to continue their education.

THE LOCATION
SHREE SURYA DEVI SCHOOL, GORKHA
The village of Yarsa in the Gorkha district sits high in the hills at an elevation of 1,930 metres, approximately 20km (4 hours’ trek) from Aarught.
During the dry season, the village of Yarsa is accessible by jeep but in the monsoon it is a day’s walk from the road head.
