Rebuild a Secondary School for 250 Kids in Nepal

The 225+ students of Shree Bhumimata School are underprivileged children of the surrounding community of Chalal Ganesthan. 

There are approximately 125 girls and 100 boys currently enrolled in the school, which accommodates Grades 1-10. Our goal is to make sure these children complete school. Rebuilding the damaged classrooms, offices and library will ensure they have a safe place to learn.

Most of the children (90%) come from the Tamang tribe and more than half of them belong to families in fragile economic conditions. Child marriage and other harmful cultural practices are common in these communities, making girls more vulnerable.

According to the head master and teachers at the school, many youths in the community, due to the low economic status of both the region and their families, end up taking low-paying jobs to help support themselves and their families. Ensuring these young individuals stay in school and acquire job skills will not only benefit them, but countless others. 

The secondary beneficiaries are many. The empowerment that the new school will bring to the families and relatives of the students is immense. It is expected that at least 2000-3000 beneficiaries from the marginalized community will benefit from this project, including women, men, youths, the elderly, community leaders, teachers, journalists, researchers and change-makers.

Education is the only way to break the cycle of violence and poverty, which makes the Shree Bhumimata School rebuild project even more important. We thank you for your continued support!
