HBCA School
Manali, Himachal Pradesh, India
This project reaches out to many children from the Himalayan region, particularly from the Zanskar region, who would not otherwise have this opportunity to attain an education. We ensure that no child is turned away. The centre can now accommodate up to 350 children.
During the Covid period, the residential school faced water supply issues due to a regional drought. To address this, a borehole has been drilled, ensuring a fresh water supply. Recent developments include the completion of 6 guest rooms, science labs, an access road, a play area, and a senior children’s hostel. To enhance security, we are supporting the construction of a protective wall around the campus, which is set to begin soon.
Looking ahead, the school aims to expand its education up to A Levels (Standards 11 and 12), accommodating higher education students in the hostel. Plans involve establishing a vocational training centre and integrating high-tech education.

The children who attend this school have different needs and require different kinds of therapies. The school focuses on literacy, numeracy, cognitive, fine motor skills and physical therapy. Each child receives individual attention, and their support plans are in place in accordance with their needs. We continue to also sponsor disabled children at the Sapling Trust in Mombasa.

Together with our local partners ‘Make a Difference Schools Mombasa’ we have built a unit at the Utange School to provide up to 180 children with special needs a unique and life changing opportunity to learn one of 6 trades (catering, tailoring, craft work, carpentry, welding and IT).
