Dhadkharka Primary School

Dhadkharka Primary School built new classrooms but they did not have funds to buy furniture. As a result, the students have to sit on the floor. We are raising US$ 4,400 to help the school furnish its classrooms and provide other essential teaching materials. We plan to raise the funds over the next few months and begin work on September 1, 2011.

Background: Dhadkharka Primary School, established in 1990 with support from local government and locals, is situated in Dhuseni Shivalaya-8 of Kavreplanchok District. Dolalghat, its nearest town, is at a driving distance of two and half hours and is connected to the school by a seasonal road. During the rainy monsoon season, when the roads are unusable, it takes about seven hours to reach the school from Dolalghat.  

Bhatte Primary School Renovation Project

Bhatte Primary School Renovation Project

The Background
Bhatte Primary School, established in 1984, has about 100 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is a 60-minute walk away from Ramche, the site of our first project.

The Need
The school currently has two blocks of classrooms. The first and the older block that was built more than 15 years ago is in a state of utter disrepair. During the rainy season the classrooms transform into a pool with water leaking from the old roof. The back wall is cracked at several places and could collapse any day. Due to this risk, classes are held in the field outside. Check out the pictures below for the conditions of the classroom.  

Mahakali Lower Secondary School Renovation Project

Mahakali Lower Secondary School Renovation Project

The Background
Mahakali Lower Secondary School, a school built in 1995, enrolls around 150 students from kindergarten to 8th grade. The school is located about a 90 minute walk from Ramche, the site of our first project, in a village called Maneshwara.

The Need
The school was in a serious need of renovation. The two-story school building had a leaky roof and there were several holes in the classroom floor. The balcony railing on the second floor was broken at several places creating a serious risk for the children. Many classrooms lacked furniture and the toilet needed repair.
