Location Details
Kanpur, Kalapani is a village development committee in Kabhrepalanchok
District in the Bagmati Zone of central Nepal. It is approximately 35 kilometers
from the district headquarter dhulikhel. Recently it falls under Namobuddha
municipality ward no. 5.
Shree Kalika Primary School was established in 2055 B.S. primarily for the
purpose of providing education to the children of Kalapani village and the
surrounding communities.

Problem Statement
The school has been providing primary level education without the availability of
proper resources like furniture, white board,computer lab, library and materials
for extracurricular activities. The system of education has been pure theoretical,
rather than a mix of theory and practical knowledge. Hence, the students are
bound to study with the low quality education provided by the school, which is not
a direct fault of the school, rather the fault of our education system.

Making the situation even worse, Nepal was struck with a devastating
earthquake in April 2015 which has compelled the students to study under the
shade of a temporarily made bamboo hut with no infrastructures. It is going to be
difficult for them to learn in this limited conditions and in the coming winter
season.

Support for the students

Since the students are studying at the school without proper classroom, without a

place to sit due to lack of furniture and are forced to study without basic
furnishing and education materials, the fund will be utilized to purchase a white
board, markers of different colors, white board eraser, rubber mat, tarpaulin (for
class separation), a notice board to post students' creative work, story books and
shelves required for the establishment of a small library.

Library blue print

We have consulted one of the best architect of Nepal Mr. Padma Kumar Mainali regarding the project
and he has helped us make a rough blue print for the library that we are planning to make and has
provided with the technical support regarding the materials we need to use for a sustainable building.
