My Village – A Learning Village is Galli Galli’s flagship citizen-led action initiative designed to address foundational literacy gaps among children aged 5 to 16. Rooted in the findings of our Citizen-led Assessments (CLA), this initiative provides remedial education through community-driven learning camps, phone-based support, and localized interventions. It empowers volunteers and educators to take direct action in helping children recover learning losses and build essential reading and numeracy skills.
The program is part of a global movement under the PAL Network, which empowers citizens across the Global South to take ownership of learning outcomes in their communities. In Nepal, Galli Galli has localized this model to fit the unique educational and social contexts of rural and urban municipalities. Know more about the context and concept note.
Together, we’ve reached thousands of lives across multiple districts, creating lasting change in education and community development.
Every Language Teaches Us (ELTU) is a multilingual education initiative that celebrates the power of indigenous languages in shaping children’s learning. As part of the global PAL Network project, ELTU in Nepal is implemented by Galli Galli to support foundational literacy through locally sourced, culturally rooted learning materials in children’s mother tongues. This initiative recognizes that language is not just a medium of instruction, it is a vessel of identity, heritage, and community knowledge. By using stories, songs, riddles, and proverbs in native languages, ELTU helps children learn to read and think critically while staying connected to their cultural roots.
