Establishment of library and study room Ref: 228 Where is this project needed? Chitwan, Nepal Who needs help with this? Rastriya Primary School, Brhamapuri, Chitwan How will my support help? There are 84 boys and 66 girls studying at this rural primary school. The students have shown great initiative and motivation to learn and they are eager to open their own library. The school currently relies heavily on their standard textbooks but recognise that the children should have access to a wider range of information to improve and enrich their learning experience. However, the school is severely under-funded and has only limited funds to establish a library. The school is able to provide a room for the library, as well as benches, desks and one bookshelf and so it is now just the books and additional shelves that are needed. Your help with this project will allow the students to establish their long sought after library, providing a whole school with the opportunity to broaden their education and gain access to a wider range of information. Cost Breakdown All items are bought in Nepal; to reduce costs and to support the local economy. All costs are therefore given in Nepalese Rupees. JustAid is currently using an exchange rate of £1 = 120 Nepalese Rupees. This rate is slightly lower than the Banks because it allows for fluctuation in the rates Materials: Average cost of book = 125 NRS 200 books needed = 25,000 NRS Transportation cost = 1500 NRS Bookcase = 4000 NRS Project Implementation costs = 3100 NRS Local bank charges to receive funds = 350 NRS Total Cost of Project = 33950 Nepalese Rupees "Education is a fundamental human right.
