Some pictures from a site where Kids of Kathmandu is planning to rebuild. Throughout Nepal, there are communities that struggle with outdated designs, deteriorating classrooms, and limits when it comes to education. Kids of Kathmandu works to rebuild schools with more durable, sustainable materials and designs, while simultaneously upgrading both physical classrooms and the learning experience through our systems and supplementary programs!

As an organization working with vulnerable communities in Nepal, Kids of Kathmandu knows that making sure we work with communities is SO important. We are constantly pushing ourselves when it comes to new innovative designs and projects. Our newest school, shown in the second slide, is our first school using #earthbrick —in the past, we’ve used #rammedearth and always try to prioritize #sustainability in our designs and practices. 🏫😍

A look inside one of our schools: DBS! As we look

A look inside one of our schools: DBS! As we look to expand, it is good to take a look back at the schools that pushed us toward sustainable, environmentally-oriented designs. DBS was made with rammed earth, a material that is climate resilient, easy to transport, more economically sustainable, and blends in seamlessly with Nepal’s natural beauty.
