Sadakbari
This is the first school out of Kathmandu valley. This started in 1999. Situated in middle of remote village, it has grown to now Class twelve and boast of having about 900 students. It is a co-ed school. This school has a big hand in shaping up the social and economic status of its neighborhood. We see great leap of changes in the lifestyle of people around the school.
This school too started for the poorest of the poor of the neighborhood working in tea-garden. Initially the school was an informal type. Later it was converted to formal Nepali medium school. The students are of tribals of Indian origin and Rajbanshi, Matwalis and some from higher caste. This was founded in 1999. The school once again took sweeping change when it transformed into English medium school.
Seeing the growing need of education for the most backward communities, the Jesuits started yet another school in Sadakbari. It started with humble beginning, having initial classes in Chapel, then moving on to thatched roofed shacks in the new plot of land. They have started studying now in the proper school building. This started in 2012.
The extension of SXS is Loyola School. The management is by the Jesuits but run by the Carmalite Missionaries Sisters. It is in the process of development. However, there are 60 students studying from play school to Class Three. The school building is ready and the students have started having classes in the new building.
SXSSC started when Fr. Tom Gafney was a rector of St. Xavier’s School. He saw many homeless and sickly people without the care of anyone. He bought another piece of land available next to the School and started housing those homeless and differently abled. Now it shelters about 51 boys and helps them in education, health care and being a family to them.
This is another extension SXCC. This began as Freedom Centre for boys affected by drug abuse. It helped many boys to get rid of the abuse in its course of existence for more than 40 years. However, in 2016 after much reflection this center took new avatar and was made home for girls just like SXSSC, Jawalakhel boys home. Now about 45 girls are benefiting from this shelter, living, getting mentored and going to various schools.

This is too is a branch of SXSSC. It shelters the physically challenged inmates who have no one to care for. The inmates live here and receive continuous medical care in a homely atmosphere. There are about 15 inmates staying in this hospice.
Shishu Bikas Kendra started with the arrival of Fr. Adam , Maryknoll Priest to Pokhara. Later, he handed it over to Fr. Ookie, a Japanese Jesuit working in Nepal. Since then the Jesuits are helping out the down syndrome children to stand on their own and fend for themselves. It teaches them life skills.
It is a place to make spiritual journey. People who want to connect with God come to this place and experience him. It’s first Director was Fr. Leo Cachet SJ. Fr. David Ekka SJ is the current Director of the Ashram.
