Nepalese Children’s Home
Gives a very high standard of care and education to impoverished chil- dren in Nepal and thus helps them to escape the ‘poverty trap’ of genera- tional poverty and the caste system.
Through a large variety of student led service organizations at FIS, our students are acting everyday to help children in our school, in the surrounding communities of Oberur- sel, Bad Homburg and Frankfurt as well as Germany at large. Additionally, students are aiding children in coun- tries further afield such as Africa, India, Nepal, and Poland. The FIS service or- ganizations include:
