We welcome you to some news about CEPP and its managing director Teeka Bhattarai… in Belgium! 
There is a long tradition of exchange between CEPP and its Belgian supporters since the Nepalese non profit organisation came about in 2008. More than 100 students from University Colleges in Flanders such as Artevelde Hogeschool Gent, Luca School of Arts Gent,  Odisee Hogeschool Brussels, the Architecture Department of Leuven University, Erasmus Hogeschool Brussels… have worked as interns in the schools that CEPP supports in the field, have lived through life-changing, enriching experiences and have encouraged teachers on the other side of the world.

The six schools and villages of Haku

In the autumn of 2025, I visited the six villages and schools of Haku again.
This time, I took Ngawa Tamang, who comes from Thulo Haku, with me, as well as Shilshila, one of our first employees.
It had been exactly ten years since we started the projects in the Haku villages. Shortly afterwards, we went to Haku together. 
This time, Sarvani, Shilshila's eight-year-old daughter, was allowed to come along. It was her first time in the mountains and her expectations were very high...

BIKAS is a Belgian NPO that works with honest and committed volunteers to support small-scale development projects in NEPAL. We carry out these responsible and sustainable projects discreetly, together with local communities and with respect for the local culture. We stand in solidarity with those most in need. We strive for the most efficient use of resources and implement transparent communication with interested people, sponsors and government concerning our projects, the way we work, and our fundraising activities. We also subject our projects to interim analyzes and evaluations. BIKAS is more than the sum of the individual projects. Wherever possible, we work together or complement each other. Cooperation with other partners or international partners is also possible. We consider the exchange of knowledge and experience, both inside and outside the organization, as a key to success.
