Summary: School Reconstruction in Kisine Village, Nepal


The massive earthquake in Nepal in April, 2015 took many lives and destroyed significant amounts of property. Part of this destruction was felt at Kisine Village, located in the Ramechhap district in Nepal. Tragically, 11 people lost their lives and many more were injured. All the villagers lost their homes and the school was badly damaged and partly destroyed. Now, just over a year after this tragic event many people in Kisine Village are living in tents. Since the school was nearly destroyed, classes were suspended for seven months. Over the past 5 months, the children have been attending school in a make shift tarp shelter studying in the open air. In Kisine Village, there are 125 homes and families. There are 97 students in the Setidevi school which teaches students up through the 5th grade. Some of these 97 students come from a nearby village by walking 2 hours every day.

The Kisine Village is populated by what is known as low cast, untouchable people with a poor living standard. For three months of the year the village grows food in their own fields. During the remaining 9 months the male members of the family go to Kathmandu to work in the brick factories. Life in this village after the earthquake has been very difficult. The rainy season will start soon and the school reconstruction is necessary to provide classes in a building protected from the weather. The families want their children to be educated as only education can change the future and lives of these people.
