The 7.9 magnitude earthquake in Nepal in 2015 destroyed or damaged more than 9,000 schools. In the worst-hit areas, 90% of schools were destroyed, with hundreds of temporary learning centers set up after the disaster. There was concern for the future of millions of traumatized Nepalese children—and fears that if they didn’t return to school quickly, they could become victims of child marriage, trafficking, and child labor.
In partnership with UNESCO Nepal, Yours Humanly funded the reconstruction and rehabilitation of three schools: Tribhuvan Trishuli Higher Secondary School, Indrayani Primary School, and Panchakanya Primary School, which were severely damaged by the earthquake. Coordinated through our Bridging Gaps initiative, this effort provided the foundation for thousands of children to return to school safely and continue their education, enhancing their chances for bright and healthy futures.
