About Us

How the Bharosa Scholarship Campaign Started?

In the light of Covid-19 and its devastating impact on lives and the livelihoods of people across Nepal, Dish Home, a leading DTH provider in Nepal, collected generous donations from various organizations and individuals to support the individuals and families affected by Covid-19. Dish home originally planned to support clinics and hospitals with machines and equipment to help the fight against the Covid-19. As the Situation has become much more normal in terms of medical equipment available in Nepal, it has been deemed practical and effective to invest in the education of children whose education has been disrupted. Hence, a comprehensive Scholarship Scheme titled “ Bharosa Scholarship’’ has been set up.

What is Bharosa Scholarship Programme?

  • Bharosa is a Scholarship Scheme currently for one year and renewable as the programme gains more strength. In its first year, the programme aims to support the students who have lost their major source of support in education due to a death in the family from Covid-19. The programme will support all the provinces of Nepal with emphasis placed on districts that fall low on the Human Development Index.
  • Below are the total numbers of districts in each province where the Bharosa Scholorship Campaign will be working for a year.

The consequences and impact of the covid-19 pandemic has created significant disruptions globally. It has specially left children and young adults with hindrances to education. The vulnerabilities multiply when a young student loses their earning parent to the pandemic or a family has to face severe financial crisis leading to the child discontinuing their studies. The Bharosa Scholarship has  been designed to provide financial aid to keep such affected students in school or colleges. 

Covid response in the country largely focused on the health sector and stabilizing the economy with support of international and national donors.

Dishome is a leading DTH provider in Nepal and organization that consciously chooses to be at the forefront helping mitigate challenges in times of national crisis with the support of generous donations from various organizations. Dish home created a covid fund of Rs. 40 lakhs that would invest in the education of children whose education has been disrupted by the pandemic. It set up an independent board to ensure transparency and accountability in the functions and implementation of the Bharosa Scholarship that aims to reach as many needy young Scholars in the most impacted regions of the country with emphasis on districts that fall low on the human development index.
