Rebuild A School Destroyed By Quake

Who Are We?
Established in 2014
Nana's House is a Non Profit Organization dedicated to addressing the needs of Nepal's homeless or impoverished individuals with an emphasis on children.
The Project:
We are currently looking to raise the last $7,000 needed to help rebuild Shree Mahendra Primary School. Because of the horrendous April 25th earthquake, the school was so badly fractured that it was deemed unusable and subsequently was demolished. What lies there now is a temporary shelter so that the children may still be able to attend school during the monsoon rains. The temporary shelter is a terrific short term solution but is in no way the size needed to educate the 120 children who currently attend Mahendra Primary School. There are currently are no bathroom facilities for the teachers and children, which forces them to have to use the nearby forest as a bathroom.
The proposal of the re-build is to have 7 classrooms, 3 bathrooms, 1 library and 1 teacher room. The previous building had 0 bathrooms, which meant children and teachers were previously and currently having to venture into the woods to relieve themselves.
Many people from the village, including those with construction-oriented jobs, have volunteered to participate in the construction of the building which will keep labor costs at an absolute minimum.
The raised money will provide the following services:
Cement blocks for 7 classrooms and 3 toilets
Office/Library building
Exterior Work
Teaching Materials
My departure date for Nepal is September 14th and hope to have raised the funds by then so that this projects can be carried out during the two months that I will be there.
