Our impact

Change you can measure.

Our model is designed to create change that lasts. By investing in schools, education, life skills, and livelihoods, we help children, and their families thrive and track our progress every step of the way.

+52.000

Children reached through education and support

Across Nepal, Kenya, and Denmark, more than 52,000 children have experienced meaningful improvements in their education. With access to renovated classrooms, qualified teachers, and safe environments, children are better able to concentrate, stay motivated, and complete their schooling. These conditions not only support academic progress but also strengthen confidence, inclusion, and long-term opportunities.

15%

More children attend school in Kenya

School attendance in Kenya has increased by 15% since the launch of Human Practice Foundation’s initiatives. Through improved infrastructure, safer learning environments, and closer partnerships with teachers and families, children who once faced daily barriers — from long travel distances to lack of proper facilities — now have better access to education. This growth reflects a broader shift: when conditions improve, children show up, stay engaged, and thrive.

130

Schools built or renovated with local partners

In close collaboration with local communities, we have built or renovated 130 schools across rural areas in Nepal and Kenya — and more are underway. These projects include classrooms, libraries, toilets, handwashing stations, and drinking water systems. Each upgrade is designed to create safe, motivating environments that support attendance, dignity, and learning for thousands of children every year.

34%

Improved English grades in Nepal

In Nepal, 34% more students now pass their English exams compared to earlier years. This leap reflects targeted teacher training, curriculum support, and consistent classroom follow-up. By investing in long-term learning strategies rather than quick fixes, Human Practice Foundation helps build real academic confidence — not just better scores, but students who are equipped to use language as a tool for further learning and future opportunities.

$36 mil.

Raised through committed partnerships

Since 2014, Human Practice Foundation has raised over $36 million to fund impactful education initiatives across Nepal, Kenya, and Denmark. This funding has enabled school construction, teacher training, and programs supporting families and communities. The results reflect the deep trust from donors who believe in education as a path to equality and long-term change — and who help turn that belief into real-world progress.

40%

Reported better relations after ‘Inner Strength’

In Denmark, the Inner Strength programme has led to a 40% improvement in relationships between students and their families. The initiative works by strengthening children’s mental well-being through dialogue, reflection, and emotional resilience. Delivered in collaboration with schools, the programme helps students express themselves better, build trust at home, and navigate daily challenges with more confidence and calm.

Unlocking opportunity.

In rural Nepal, improved school buildings, teacher training and local engagement are opening doors that were once closed. For students like Sudeep, access to education means more than attending class — it creates stability, confidence, and a real chance to shape the future.

The bigger picture – what the numbers reveal.

In partnership with Deloitte, our annual Impact Report captures both immediate progress and long-term outcomes across all areas of our work - from education and infrastructure to livelihoods and local capacity. The 2024 report highlights 10 years of impact in Taplejung, Nepal, where HPF’s journey began, describing the impact from one school to a model for district-wide transformation.

  • "Working with Human Practice Foundation is a reminder of what real impact looks like. Their commitment to education is not just a vision — it’s something they realise every day, in real communities, with real results."

    Charlotte Engström, Director of Sustainability, Global Equity Partners

  • "Before Human Practice Foundation built our school, we had no proper classrooms, no books, and no hope of changing our future. Today, I’m the first in my family to graduate — and I now teach younger students in my village."

  • "Human Practice Foundation combines deep local insight with a strong results-driven mindset. As a funding partner, we value their ability to turn shared goals into meaningful, lasting change."
