Musical instruments and a sound system for a remote secondary school

Ref:  244


Where is this project needed?

 
Ilam, East Nepal,
 
Who needs help with this?
 
Adarsha Higher Secondary School, Ilam
 
How will my support help?
 
1,928 students are currently studying at this school. Adarsha is the only government funded secondary school in Ilam, and in order to continue their education, many students have to walk from their village to the main town. The number of students has doubled in the last year, following recent political developments. With so many students, and very little money, the school lacks resources. The students and teachers organize different events throughout the school year, including plays, dancing, and concerts. These festivals are important for both celebrating local culture, and raising funds for the school. However, currently the school has to hire musical instruments and a sound system. This can be very expensive. Your support will help the school to raise much needed funds, and to continue to provide students with the opportunity of participating in cultural celebrations.
 
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

Education is a fundamental human right. It provides children, youth and adults with the power to reflect, make choices and enjoy a better life. It breaks the cycle of poverty and is a key ingredient in economic and social development. (www.unesco.org)
