completed: kliyu's Shree Phumrokhun Baraha Secondary School building
|
Kliyu's main school building was destroyed in Nepal’s 2015 earthquake. The village had slowly rebuilt 2 stories, but they didn’t have the funding for the third floor or a roof to protect students from the elements.
TTT partnered with myTEFL to raise 14K to fund the completion of the building so Kliyu can restore their local school and educate their students. The room will be used for classes, extracurricular activities, meetings and dances. |

Completed: Chhomrong's school amenitiesChromrong’s Shree Dhaulashree Secondary School was in a state of disrepair. Though the government had funded part of its repairs and reconstruction, monsoon rains collapsed the progress, leaving the village without a completed building and without additional funding. For a long time the school’s play yard was riddled with hazardous materials, its classrooms were without paint. The classrooms’ doors shut only loosely, the window-holes let in chilly rains, and a derelict dormitory structure, incomplete and damaged by the monsoon, sat unfinished on school grounds. Trek to Teach helped to propper buy six new doors and eight new windows along with paint and toilets for two rooms in the newly built teacher dormitory building at the school.

Completed: Tolka Library
Tolka is a village of about 80 Nepali families living alongside trekkers finishing the Annapurna Circuit. It’s a poor community and its Shree Himalaya Secondary School had no library until Trek to Teach partnered with WINGS in 2016 and 2017. WINGS raised $5,300 for the build and TTT directed that money to gather materials and local laborers for the project. TTT volunteers and staff, the school’s teachers, and children from the child’s club helped complete all the arrangements for the library’s opening in May 2017. Guests from other TTT partner schools, ACAP representatives, and the school’s teachers, students, and students’ parents participated in the opening ceremony.

Completed: Ghandruk Drinking Fountain
Ghandruk is the largest village in the Annapurna area, with several thousand people and a medical centre. Its Shree Meshram Baraha Secondary School saw Trek to Teach’s first ever teacher in 2011. But it too is poor, and the school’s old drinking fountain had a single, decaying tap that splashed students’ ankles. To equip the school with clean drinking-water facilities, in June 2015 TTT raised $2,000, helped source labor and materials, and revealed the new fountain alongside school administrators and local leaders. The fountain’s five taps are fed by new, uncorroded pipes. We’re proud to contribute to our oldest partner school’s educational capacity and make students’ lives a little brighter.

Completed: Kimche fenceIn 2018 we worked with a local construction committee to build a fence around Jana Premi Lower Secondary School in Kimche because there was a steep cliff drop off that was unsafe for students. Our team provided funding, and together we constructed a wire fence both around the ECD playground and the school’s main building to make students more safe while at school.The school is now protected from a steep drop off and provides a safe area for students to play between classes and after school. The leftover budget for this project was used to paint the school’s office and walls and to fund some much needed minor maintenance work.
