Rebuilding educational assets in Goankharka of Nuwakot District.

In the aftermath of the 2015 earthquakes, CAN is seeking to respond to a request from communities in the GaunKharka VDC of Nuwakot District near Kutumsang in the Helambu region of Nepal to replace and rebuild the Shree Himalayan Primary School and the Birendra Secondary School, which were destroyed in April 2015. Our ambition is to work in partnership with local communities to rebuild new sustainable schools, providing high quality school learning facilities with sound earthquake resistant features. The project is closely working with the School Management Committees (SMCs) to strengthen their capacity in financial and school management and O&M of schools and water supplies. Along with the construction of the school buildings the Project is also supporting to rehabilitate water supply systems to both the schools, construction of latrines for boys, girls and teachers; increasing awareness on improved hygiene practices around water and sanitation and increasing schools and communities resilience to future disasters through DRR.
