Improving Education for Nepalese Students
Donation protected
This gofundme page is setup to raise fund to help students in Nepal. We have been asked to a School close to the village of Lespar- "Shree Salija Madhyamik School". Our fundraising effort will help buy computers for the school to put in some of the classrooms to help the students get a better education.
There are around 151 Students and 16 Teachers including other staff. The School has students from Kindergarten to Standard 10. The ages of the students are from 2 years to 15 years.
Lespar village is made up of two big villages called " Tallo Gaun " ( lower village ) and " Uppallo Gaun " ( upper village). Most people are not very well educated so their main income source is farming.
Our aim is to raise funds which we will take to Nepal and buy school equipment which the Principal has requested. The school would really appreciate some technology, computers, printers and projector. By purchasing in Nepal, we are investing in the local business in Nepal.
If we raise extra will use this to "sponsor" a Year 10 student into further education, as they have to travel over 2 hours each way everyday to gain this higher education.
Sterling Results Fitness Club in-conjunction with Trekking Adventures is leading a trek to Nepal in April 2019. At the end of our trek we will visit this school and personally deliver the equipment . We will document the trip and share the school experience it’s everyone who donates.
In 2015, after the Earthquake we did a similar thing. We raise $3500 for a local school and we re-stocked the entire school of books, whiteboard, sports equipment, a computer, and all spare change was spent on giving every student a new school uniform. MONEY goes along way when you purchase in NEPAL .
Our current goal is to raise in excess of $5000 so we can
1. Provide Gear for school .. computers, printer, projectors …
2. Help a child get a higher education
