Nepal. Structure disabled house

The Gyan Jyoti Primary School in Lalitpur District, Lubhoo Village is a very small school. It consists just of an administrative area and a classroom with attached dining room. And yet it is a very important school. 33 students aged 9 to 31 years have one thing in common. They all live with a disability.

Human Rights Watch criticized that in Nepal disabled people are still marginalized and discriminated against. For disabled children is still difficult to access the education. In this case, many parents see no other way but to imprison their disabled children at home or tie them somewhere.

Therefore, this small school makes an important contribution to a decent care and education of the concerned students.

Since the building is very shabby, Happy Bambini e.V. has a danger of collapsing wall had torn down and replaced a wall that almost collapsed with a new one. Furthermore, a new carpet was laid, as the rooms have no heating. This much-overdue renovations have already improved the situation significantly.

But in the long term, it is necessary for the school to be moved closer to the villages of the children. Often parents cannot find the time to bring their children to school that is far away. For this reason, a piece of land shall be bought in order to build a new school. To make this possible, the parents have already submitted an application for a land purchase. In addition, the parents collect donations during the Puja, a religious celebration. But still the donations collected on the spot are not enough.

Therefore we would like to ask you to please support this important project. Every penny counts in order to begin the construction at early October – before the winter.

In the pictures you can see the classroom in which the children are taught to sing and dance. There is a great emphasis on ensuring that every child is really involved in activities.
