Rebuilding the School After a Devastating Natural Disaster

A New School for Nele

In 2015, Nepal was struck by a severe earthquake that nearly completely destroyed the village of Nele.
Nele, located about 60 km from Kathmandu, has a population of 5,000, including 600 school-age children who were taught in emergency tents after the earthquake.
In collaboration with the Swiss Carène Foundation and the association Help for Nepal, a new school building was to be constructed to provide the children of Nele with education under decent conditions once again.
Paul Metzner, a dedicated Swiss construction expert experienced in rebuilding, and Käthi Flümann from the association "Help for Nepal," a mountain guide and project initiator, have shown unparalleled commitment and a big heart for the future of the people of Nele.

A School as a School Should Be

Nele's new school is now even larger and more beautiful: it has 11 classrooms, equipped with spacious wooden desks and benches.
The new building also finally includes sanitary facilities with a total of 6 toilets.
Even a small residence for the teacher, who previously had to live in temporary accommodation, has been built.
In addition to the school, nearly 300 houses have been rebuilt with funding from the Help for Nepal association, providing the people of Nele with a safe and stable living environment.
