Education Aid for a community school in Maisirang

Education Aid for a community school in Maisirang

Maisirang is a small village in the Rakshirang Rural Municipality which lies within the Makwanpur district. The population of Maisirang is consists of the most disadvantaged and marginalized indigenous groups who are commonly referred to as ‘the chepangs’. Extreme and rising poverty has led to poor literacy and income opportunities. There are no higher education facitilies available within the village and most students have to travel between 2 to 3 hours to attend higher education institutes. Furthermore, the primary schools which are available lacks key educational equipment and trained teachers. Many children drop out of education at a young age due to the lack of supplies and also due to the burden of having to provide financially for their family’s livelihood.

This is a complex and widespread issue, therefore in order to tackle this MAMI has decided to focus on one school initially and provide educational aide to them. The school chosen is the Shree Chepang Pragati Primary School, we will provide this school with essential tools like stationery and notebooks once every three months. MAMI has also appointed trained and qualified teachers and volunteers to ensure that the quality of education provided to the children in this school improves and remains consistent. Our team will conduct annual supervision of the school and coordinate with the local heads and the school departments to ensure that the children are receiving good education which will help them access future opportunities and their basic needs are satisfied.
