The challenge

At this time, 4500 schools and 27,000 classrooms are unusable. Nearly one million pupils cannot receive instruction. A healthy and vibrant economy depends on well-maintained educational institutions. Over the long term, this allows the local economy to recover from catastrophes.

In this case, the location is so difficult to reach that not even donkeys can reach the site and human porters must transport everything to where it is needed.

Objective of the project

The focus of the project is to build new schools and provide educational opportunities for local children and youth. Having the opportunity to once again attend a school, no matter what the weather conditions, will allow them to establish a solid foundation for the future.

Project description

The project involves the rebuilding of the school complex for approximately 160 pupils in VDC Nuwakot / Kathmandu, Nepal. This includes construction of the building itself and provision of instructional materials.

Source of funding

All financial resources were provided by private donations.
