School and
community maintenance
Without a school, where do kids get an education? Sadly, the answer is:
They do not. HOPE & HOME: Volunteer Program is
one of few organizations that targets its activities towards
a specific school and strives to bring that school up to basic
educational levels. Your contribution will be targeted to one
school and you will be able to track the progress of your school
and its students. Education
is a priority in Nepal because it is a crucial building block in the
country's reconstruction and revitalization. However, thousands of
children are deprived of an education because there are not enough
schools in Nepal, especially in rural areas where 75 percent of the
nation's population lives. |

The Nepalese government simply does not have enough money to
meet the demand for the construction of new schools.
That is where Hope and Home steps in. We strive to close this
educational gap by funding the construction and renovation of
kindergarten and elementary schools. A two-room school can be
built or renovated for as little as $5,500. But your little help
would be highly appreciated.
Nepal is moving from an agricultural society into an commercial
one. This transition is stressing the education system at all
levels, especially when it comes to primary schools.
Hope and Home strives to create access to basic education for
students in rural and underserved areas so they might have a
chance at participating in the emerging economy.
Recent Project for:
School Name: Nateshwori Primary School
Location: Changu, Bhaktapur
volunteers are needed to plaster and paint classrooms and to
build a wall around the property of the school.
The school cares for children of local communities who do not
otherwise have access to adequate education. Many classrooms
still lack electricity, chair, desk, book and stationery
supplies and even windows.
