Greetings friends and supporters of our Nepal Relief Program,
We are so excited to enter our fifth year of school rebuilds in Nepal, as our teams rapidly make progress on three new project sites. The first site is nestled in the Makwanpur District, which is one of the most heavily impacted Districts following the 2015 earthquake. Here, the team is working on the Shree Manakamana Basic School which serves ECD through eighth grade. When their work is done, 140 enrolled children will have access to their brand new school.
The second and third sites are situated in the rural municipality of Marin (which is in the larger Sindhuli District, located approx. 5 hours outside of Kathmandu). Here, teams are working on two new schools, namely the Shree Thakureshwor Ni Ma Vi school, and the Shree Janakalyan Ni Ma Vi school. We aim to have both schools finished by mid-May 2020 when we will open the doors to a combined 338 students.
Continued support for our work in Nepal helps us provide desperately needed improvements in addition to the structural improvements already in motion. Examples include new clean and reliable water sources, safe and gender-appropriate sanitation facilities, hygiene and hand wash-stations, and even structurally sound playgrounds. Each of these elements has the power to improve the health and well-being of these children, allowing them to focus on the joys of childhood and learning. Thank you for following the progress our teams have made in Nepal, and for supporting their work on the incredible 21 schools that have already been completed.
I look forward to updating you again soon!
