With folded hands and curious minds, NAG celebrated Saraswati Puja—where learning begins and wisdom flows.

At NAG, education lies at the heart of everything. In this spirit, the Hindu goddess Saraswati holds a special symbolic meaning for our organisation and for the children we support.

Saraswati is traditionally revered as the goddess of knowledge, learning, wisdom, language, music, and the arts. She represents the belief that education is more than the acquisition of facts – it is a path to understanding, creativity, dignity, and personal growth.

This understanding strongly reflects NAG’s approach to education. Our children are given access not only to formal schooling, but also to creative and artistic activities that encourage self-expression, confidence, and curiosity. Music, art, language, and cultural engagement play an important role in helping children heal from difficult past experiences and discover their own talents and strengths.

In Nepal, Saraswati is widely honoured as a patron of learning. Her symbolism connects our educational work with the cultural context in which our children grow up, fostering respect for local traditions while reinforcing a universal value: knowledge has the power to change lives.

For NAG, Saraswati therefore stands as a guiding symbol – as an expression of our belief that education opens doors, creates opportunities, and offers new hope. Just as NAG provides a home and a future for children in need, Saraswati embodies the transformative power of learning that enables children to build their own paths with confidence and purpose.
