2021 marks 30 years since the very firstschool in Nepal funded and built by what became Pahar Trust Nepal was opened.That first school was built in Pokharithok, a tiny village in the Himalayas.

Since then, PTN has delivered 248projects in 21 districts, building and renovating 159 schools, 51 libraries and38 other essential projects such as health centres and toilets. Over 40,000students have benefitted from our work.

To mark this anniversary, we arelaunching a 12-month campaign for the whole of 2021, called ’30 for 30’. Our aim is toraise £50,000 to help 30 schools in Nepal improve their teaching provision andfacilities for pre-primary school children aged 1-5 years old.

Some of the 30 schools we aresupporting with this campaign will require a complete refurbishment of theclassroom, whilst others have the basics but are lacking in resources to helpthe children, such as stationery, toys and educational material. £50,000 willensure that we can make significant improvements in all of these 30 schools.
