The beginning of the satellite schools was for the neglected children of the locality. First informal education was started for them in St. Mary’s premises. The sisters saw to their basic needs and taught them. Some of our St. Mary’s girls too contributed their share in forming these underprivileged ones. As the number of children increased, a house in Jhamsikel was bought and the school continues for these financially challenged children.

Mary Ward School, Jhamsikhel:
In 1986, Mary Ward School was started in Jhamsikhel for the very poor children. Sisters Frances and Asha did all they could to look after these children, bathing them, combing their hair and giving them food, etc. Soon the students achieved a sense of cleanliness and began to study. They have regular eye check up, hair cutting programmes organized by the ASMAN. They are given midday meal everyday, their uniforms and books are taken care of, so that they can study in a normal atmosphere.

Tailoring and Literacy classes are also conducted for young girls and women. At the end of the tailoring course, they receive a Diploma so that they can work on their own and be self-reliant.

Mary Ward School, Lubhu:
The school in Jhamsikhel is up to the fifth grade. In order to give these children an opportunity to study up to Class ten, Mary Ward School in Lubhu was started in 1997, as an extension of Jhamsikhel school. It has already sent out three batches of SLC students. Out of those, a few who are good in study are sent to other schools to complete their plus 2. Lubhu also has regular medical check up programmes and coaching classes for the students. Midday meal is provided for the lower class students.

There is a Centre for Literacy and Tailoring for women. At the end of the course, they receive a Diploma which helps them to be self-supporting.

A small dispensary run by the sisters renders treatment to the children and poor people around the village. The sisters move out to the nearby villages providing them with medical assistance.
