The school in the Dolakha district, east of the Sindhupalchok district, where most of the NHB’s schools are located, was largely co-financed by our Austrian partner from Lichtenegg. The school for 460 children was inaugurated at the end of 2015 after the earthquake. In 2022, an extension for natural history classes was finally completed.
On 15 March, the extension to the school was officially handed over by board member Manfred Lindner and a delegation from the NHB.
After almost two years of construction, the school in Tanjakot in Humla, in the far west of Nepal, was officially opened on 1 April 2024. 360 schoolchildren now have a new school in one of the most remote areas of Nepal.
Since the completion of the passive solar house in September 2023, the five-month school closures in the winter from November to March due to low temperatures of up to -25 degrees will be a thing of the past. Pupils will now be able to attend school for 10 months.
