On May 22, 2015 Kids of Kathmandu, along with Asia Friendship Network, was given permission by Ministry of Education, Nepal to rebuild schools in 4 of the most earthquake devastated districts. Temporary schools went up immediately to brace for monsoon season which was upon us. In March 2016, we broke ground on our first 6 permanent schools. In late 2016 these schools were complete.
The devastating flash floods and landslides in northern Nepal have left communities in urgent need. The death toll continues to rise, with entire villages swept away, and thousands missing. Numerous schools are both damaged and destroyed, leaving thousands of children without a school to return to.
In response to this tragedy, Kids of Kathmandu will do what we do best, provide educational support systems, materials, uniforms and temporary buildings to help families and children access educational resources and support, and rebuild. Eventually we will help with rebuilding school buildings, but first we need to create a safe space for kids to gather and learn with your help.
Thank you for your support during this delicate time.
