Recently, we unveiled new classrooms at three different schools in Kathmandu District that were damaged by the 2015 earthquake. Together, more than 370 students have benefited from these improvements.
Since the earthquake, if school was in session at all, children have been studying inside “temporary learning centers” made of bamboo poles, tarps and metal sheets. Parents, teachers and entire communities were excited to finally have their children return to the comfort and convenience of permanent buildings for their classes.
The Santi School Project provided two classrooms at each of the schools: Ratomate Primary School, Pokharichaur Primary School and Bal Jyoti Lower Secondary School.
At each of the schools, enthusiastic members of the local community gathered for inauguration ceremonies to celebrate the opening of the new classrooms, which have been designed to be earthquake resilient.
We would like to thank you for your support of our efforts to renovate earthquake-damaged schools in Nepal and provide quality education through our teacher training programs. Even though the earthquake was nearly 18 months ago, it will take years simply to restore the thousands of schools that were damaged.
