Batti for Education

“Light for Learning, Hope for Tomorrow”
Batti is a crisis-responsive education NGO that brings hope through learning in areas affected by conflict, displacement, disaster, or deep poverty. We believe that education should not stop—no matter the circumstances.

बत्ती संकटमा परेका बालबालिकाका लागि शिक्षाको उज्यालो बोकेको संस्था हो। संकट आउँछ, तर पढाई रोकिनु हुँदैन भन्ने हाम्रो दृष्टिकोण हो।

Responding Where Others Cannot
Founded in 2020 after the COVID-19 crisis exposed educational inequality, Batti was created to ensure that children facing extraordinary hardships still receive a chance to learn.

Our work spans urban slums, refugee settlements, flood zones, and post-earthquake regions where children are at risk of dropping out. We believe in adaptive learning models that can be deployed quickly and sustainably.

हामी मोबाइल स्कूल, टेन्ट स्कूल, तथा आपतकालीन सिकाइ किटमार्फत सघन क्षेत्रमा पुगेर सिकाइ सुनिश्चित गर्छौं।

  1. Mobile Learning Vans
    Our mobile classrooms bring education to street children, brick kiln workers, and children in camps. Equipped with books, tablets, and solar panels, these vans ensure flexible and creative learning.

  2. Disaster Response Education
    Batti provides learning continuity through emergency kits, trauma support, and radio lessons in areas hit by disasters.

  3. Accelerated Learning for Dropouts
    We run crash courses for children who’ve missed years of school, helping them re-enter mainstream education.

  4. Night Schools for Working Children
    We operate evening classes in cities like Kathmandu and Birgunj to reach child workers.

  5. Tech Literacy in Crisis Zones
    Through solar-powered tablets and offline apps, we provide digital access to children in power-deficient areas.

हाम्रा कार्यक्रमहरू लचिलो, नवप्रवर्तनपूर्ण र तात्कालिक आवश्यकता अनुसार डिजाइन गरिएका छन्।

  • Urgency (तात्कालिकता): Education must adapt as fast as emergencies unfold.

  • Compassion (करुणा): We serve with understanding, not pity.

  • Adaptability (लचिलोपन): No child should be left behind because of geography or disaster.

  • Hope (आशा): Learning brings light, even in darkness.

हामी संकटका बेलामा बालबालिकाको भविष्य उज्यालो बनाउने अभियानमा छौं।

  • Join mobile classrooms as a learning facilitator

  • Distribute educational kits in flood-prone areas

  • Help develop content for low-literacy and digital formats

  • Train field teachers in soft skills and trauma counseling

बत्ति स्वयंसेवकहरूलाई मात्र होइन, संकटमा परेका बालबालिकालाई पनि शक्ति दिन्छ। तपाईं हाम्रो उज्यालो यात्रा सँगै हिँड्न सक्नुहुन्छ।
