Outdoor Space for Children in Rural Nepal

Program: Outdoor Learning Space for Children in Rural Nepal

Thanks to all our donors and supporters who have supported this project. Here is the new update.

i. A New Retaining Wall:

After buying a new piece of land in front of the existing land at our second partner school, Kotbada Impact School, the sister school of Modern Model Residential School in Naraharinath Rural Municipality, we needed to build a new retaining wall. The new retaining wall is built to protect the existing outdoor school area from monsoon floods and landslides and to provide a larger outdoor space for around 90 children to learn and play. The construction of the new 90-meter-long and 1.5-meter-high cemented stone wall was successfully completed.

Expenses:

Stones: $276

Cement, sand and pebbles: $953

Equipment: $168

Labor: $2,431

Total: $3,828

ii. The Boundary Fence:

Once the new retaining wall was constructed, a boundary fence was installed. Metal posts were fixed in the boundary area and the metal nets were tied to the metal posts. Two metal doors were also installed. The boundary fence would protect the school’s outdoor area from animals and external interferences.

Expenses:

The boundary net, the metal posts and two metal doors: $1,516

Transportation: $303

Labor: $205

Total: $2,024

Thank you so much to you all again for your support. Hope you will keep supporting us.

Impact Schools Project Report 07.28.21

By Prakash Bista | President

Thanks to all our donors and supporters who have continued supporting this project. We are just over halfway to our goal. We have raised $10,913 so far.

When we prepared the last report, we had used $6,753.70 in purchasing the new land at MMRS and building a cemented stone wall to manage the land area at our second school. This time we have continued adding more playground area, and also bringing some outdoor play equipment.

Second Update

Land Purchase:

We have added land at our second school, Kotbada Impact School in Kumalgaun village. The newly purchased land is slightly over 150 square meters. The new land will provide more space for the children to play once we put a stone wall around it.

Costs:

Land cost: $1,470.60

Outdoor Play Equipment Purchase:

We also ordered outdoor playing equipment for Modern Model Residential School. Two metal slides, two swings and two see-saw systems were ordered from a company’s metal factory in Nepalgunj. They were transported to the nearest road, and the local villagers carried them on their shoulders and their backs for almost eight hours to reach the school from the nearest road. They are going to be installed once the monsoon is over in late August.

Thank You

Thank you so much to all who have donated to our campaign. We still need funds to purchase outdoor playing equipment for the kindergarten children, a truss roof for the kindergarten play area, artificial/natural grass in the outdoor area, and a stone wall for the newly purchased land at our second school. Hope you will keep supporting. Thank you very much.
