A small English boarding school in Kathmandu, Nepal is attended by over 50 students, about half of whom call the school home because their parents are unable to care for them.

The classrooms are simple, an abandoned building with dirt floors and no windows. Many students share or make do without basic supplies. Education here isn’t taken for granted it’s something they show up for fully, every day.

During my time living alongside the students, they were given cameras to learn photography and document their lives. The images that follow were taken by the students themselves, capturing both their days at school and their lives at home, an honest look at their world through their own eyes.
