The Hindu Vidyapeeth (HVP) institutions offer 'Values Based Education’ that embraces the best aspects of the conventional, modern western style of academic education together with an emphasis on open-minded thinking, global awareness, tolerance and the value of selfless service to society. They aim to give the students a good grounding for their chosen careers so that they can prosper in an increasingly competitive environment whilst at the same time preventing them from dissociating with their Nepali identity, their own rich culture. The projects aim to inspire individuals nurturing the desire, confidence and skills they need to contribute towards Nepal’s sustainable development.
The three HVP schools are in Kathmandu, Dang (west) and Thali (Kathmandu valley). The schools accept students from all backgrounds with fees calculated on a means basis. The HVP scholarhship fund supports children from disadvantaged backgrounds subsidising the cost of education and covering accommodation and food costs where necessary.

The HVP Schools receive UK teaching volunteers from Cambridge, Durham and Oxford Universities which increases the capacity of the school's teaching staff, offers opportunities for HVP students to practise their English with native speakers and increases their exposure to international cultures.

CHILDREN'S PEACE HOME
The Children's Peace Home is located in the district of Dang 410km west of Kathmandu. Children supported by the Peace Home include some whose parents died as a result of the political conflict, disease or natural disaster, or who come from impoverished families unable to support them through school.
All the children in the Peace Home receive an education at the Dang HVP School traveling everyday by a school bus bought by HVPN-UK. Outside school the children are cared for by the residential Peace Home staff in a warm family environment where they are supported through their studies, vocational training and life skills. Volunteers teaching at HVP Dang are based at CPH, allowing them to support the children in their homework and extra-curricular activities.
