Seti Devi Lower Secondary School was hit particularly hard by the earthquake in Nepal. Every single one of its classrooms was damaged. For more than a year, school was conducted under the cover of flimsy tarps.
When Santi School and our partners began working on new classrooms at Seti Devi Lower Secondary School, the students and teachers there were so excited that they started to use them before the buildings were finished.
The school, about 50 miles away from Kathmandu in Kavre district, has eight teachers and 155 students in pre-kindergarten through seventh grade. Many of the students at the school are ethnic minorities who have faced discrimination in Nepali society.
Our work at Seti Devi Lower Secondary School is not done. Unfortunately, students are forced to sit on the floor. This could become a potential health problem in the colder winter months that are right around the corner. The school needs new furniture and teaching materials.
Overall, Santi School and its local partners are rebuilding 21 schools damaged by the earthquake. We’ve completed 13 of those projects, including Seti Devi Lower Secondary School.
Funds from Global Giving will be used to provide furniture at some of the schools we have renovated. Make a donation today to help us deliver new desks, chairs and tables to as many schools as possible. Thank you for your support!
