UWS Hile School, which is in Gulmi province of Nepal, is located in the foothills of the Himalayas and has been open for just over a year. There are 186 children being taught by four government teachers and four community teachers.

Initial teacher training and resourcing of the school has gone well and there is a particularly active school support committee. Current aims for the school include developing the curriculum to involve a greater level of learning through play, which also includes further development of the playground which was initially delayed during the school build due to a landslide.

SVS is Hile School’s first school partner and we are raising money for its long-term running cost.
