Nepal 2015: update on the project

April 25, 2015: A devastating earthquake changed people’s lives all over the country.

Already in November, we had first talks with our local project managers concerning the construction of the new school house for disabled children.

After a promotional campaign, the interest in our project is more and more rising (so far, we have 70 more reservations) and as a further result even the Ministry of Education promised financial support!

As winter in Nepal is very hard and rainy, time was used to optimize the planning process because we wanted to build a really solid building. When weather conditions improved the foundation was laid in April.

Thanks to that natural delay which in retrospect seems like a stroke of good fortune we did not start construction before the terrible earthquake otherwise we would have lost most of the donated money.

Slowly, life is returning to normal although the region still suffers from continuing aftershocks.

Nepal is one of the poorest countries of the world and it needs our help more than ever before!

This project is particularly close to our hearts and we will do our very best to find a solution as soon as possible. We thank you for your support and we will keep you up to date on the further developments in this project.
