More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
At present, teachers in rural Nepal lack proper training, resulting in poor education and corporal punishment. We propose to construct a training center in the heart of the Harpan Valley to benefit 7 valley schools: a centre that houses a model preschool (i.e.: larger classrooms; more and larger windows, a spacious playground); a health post; a workshop for creating education materials; a teachers' training hall; and office space for two NGOs dedicated to improving rural education in the region.
Activities
Model preschool environment for village children. Training facility for teachers. Educational materials to improve child-teacher relationships. Goal: stop corporal punishment in schools across the valley. $18k - $11k grant 12/07 = $7k now needed!
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $405
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $6,595
Total Funding Goal: $7,000

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
This Centre will improve the quality of preschool education for some 350 preschool children across the Harpan Valley every year. Corporal punishment will come to an end and this generation of Nepali children will break the chain of violence.
Project Message
A child is like a flower; it can only blossom if we give it the care and attention but also the space that it needs. A teacher should help the child develop the potential it already holds inside.
