Appeal for Fund support to improve status of education and health




Improvement in education quality through hiring of local teacher

Himalchuli Primary School is located at Gaganpani Paire-7, Dhading district with 50+ students. Majority of the student belongs to the economically deprived Tamang and Chepang community. Community people don’t have much time to properly guide their children as they spent their most of the time in labor activities. School also comprises of the single orphan or double orphan as well as separated children as their students. Few families take their child to the school with the belief of getting rid of their child and time for labor activities rather than educating their children.  

Problem Analysis
Children come to school with empty stomach without any food for lunch as well. To stay in class from 10am-3 pm without food, their health as well as psychological condition is getting worse each passing day. As they couldn’t concentrate on study with hungry stomach, they used to bunk from school deteriorating the quality of education. 
·         No any support from local community.
·         Teachers needed to collect student from door-door visit each day.
·         Due to lack of teacher, no proper guidance to students.
·         Due to irregularity of teacher, usually school gets closed due to the absence of even single teacher.
·         No room for class division making life difficult for teacher to educate children.

·         Orientation on health and hygiene by participants of Hike program.


Current scenario of the school and community

Being the resident of same village, I feel privilege to upgrade the quality of education through my teaching approaches. It not only helped me to serve my community but also helped me to improve my own financial status.
-Kalpana Tamang, Hired Teacher


After the support of Bookmandu Nepal, our children are continuously going to school. If she will get support for next few years, we can see our child’s future bright.

After having Kalpana miss as our teacher, we have started to regularly come to classes. Similarly, we have started doing our regular home-works as well. As we are now habitual with her teaching approaches, we don’t feel any hesitancy to consult her about our problems.
                                                                        -Students, Class 2, Himalchuli Primary School
 
 Way Forward
·         Requirement of fund support for next 7 months (as commitment) and next few years (sustainable future).
·         Requirement of educational material support to the children from economically deprived community.
·         Requirement of support to implement day meal package system to improve the health condition of students.
