The Small World USA

Empowering girls, women and communities in the Himalaya.

The Small World USA is a 501(c)3 non-profit that supports locally driven sustainable community development projects in the Himalayan region of Nepal. These projects help to break the cycle of poverty by working to provide education for children (especially young girls), empowerment, and opportunities for local communities.

Today we are launching our year end fundraiser. We have been so blessed by our grassroots donors and invite you to give this holiday season to change the lives of girls in Nepal. Each dollar will be matched up to $50,000 thanks to a generous donor. Now is the time to double your impact and continue to uplift the next generation of women in Nepal.
