First, we built a school
The Shree Shanti Primary School in a Tamang village in Ramche, a rural area in the mountains of Nepal, can only be reached on foot.
Then we renovated schools nearby
The Mahakali Lower Secondary School and Bhatte Primary School were falling apart. We’ve replaced leaky roofs, fixed toilets, built new classrooms, and installed new furniture. We plan to renovate four more schools in 2011.
And we’re providing specialized teacher training
Ongoing early childhood education training for local teachers, because government-sponsored training is limited.
All to promote quality education in rural Nepal, especially for girls and ethnic minorities
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the US, so all donations are tax deductible. And 100% goes to Nepal, because we’re run entirely by volunteers.
In Nepal, we are registered as Shanti Education Initiative Nepal, the sole implementing agency of the Santi School Project.
