Japan hands over classroom building to Shree Himalaya Secondary...
Shree Chandrawati Secondary School was established in 1960 and has about 330 students. Some of the current school buildings are more than 30 years old, with many cracks in the walls and severe leaks in the roofs. They are also not earthquake resistant. It is hardly a safe and suitable environment for learning and needs to be improved as soon as possible. This project aims to improve the educational environment by constructing new classroom buildings at the school and will be managed by Kids of Kathmandu, which has been working to improve the educational environment in Nepal.
The Embassy of Japan believes that this project will provide a suitable learning environment for students and improve the quality of their education. We also hope that this assistance will further strengthen the friendship between the peoples of Japan and Nepal, including future generations.
