Completed: Nepal Schools Rebuild and Support
A school that provides for impure, polluted and untouchable. These are the words that are used to describe a class of Nepalese people known as Dalits. This school is in a village in the mountains of Nepal 30km outside Pokhara. The school caters for low class families who cannot attend normal government schools, or boarding schools due to their caste. The school has approx. 40 children with 6 of them orphans, the ages of the children is between 3 to 12 years old.
The school has no funding from government, they only supply 2 teachers. The local village families and local business try to keep the running of the school. The school was badly affected by the earthquake, they currently have no classrooms, no electric, no water and a toilet far away from the school.

This project was supported and sponsored by AYU-OK and SAFI foundation (Switzerland).
This project has been close to heart of everyone as this school was badly affected with no toilets and no support as this school is for the untouchables.
Today this school has 4 classrooms, principal office, three toilets, kitchen area and a ground for children to play on. We continue to supply stationary and clothes to this school.
