Rastriya Primary School, Ujjalnagar, chitwan How will my support help? This school was set up to provide the opportunity for children from some of the poorest families in the area to attend school. Many of the students studying here are from the Tharu caste. This is an ethnic group in Nepal and one of the most disadvantaged groups. Many of these families live well below the poverty line and in many cases are homeless. Prior to this school being set up, these families were not able to send their children to school. This school runs on a very tight budget and they are unable to provide many basic facilities. There are over 300 children studying here and they currently do not have access a suitable play area as the school is based on a slope. The children would like to be able to take part in local sports competitions with other schools but at the moment they are not able to practise to a level where they are able to compete. The school have requested the funds needed to level the play area so that the children have access to a proper play area.
