Story

Since the 2015 earthquake, The Juniper Trust has unwaveringly dedicated itself to supporting remote and vulnerable mountain communities in Nepal. The organization has successfully rebuilt twenty schools, providing an opportunity for even the poorest and most vulnerable children to access education, which was previously beyond their reach.

Despite these accomplishments, two significant challenges persist. Firstly, there is a lack of adequate training for teachers to deliver high-quality lessons, especially in early years learning, spoken English, and practical science. Secondly, schools face a dire need for essential equipment, and the absence of adequate libraries remains a primary concern.

To address these challenges, The Juniper Trust launched the Nepal Quality Schools Project in November 2021. This initiative aims to provide teacher training, establish well-stocked and diverse libraries, and furnish schools with the necessary equipment to enhance the quality of education. Currently, ten schools are part of a two-year teacher training program, with two new central libraries at Uma Kunda and Maili Schools.

The comprehensive training program involves assessments, conferences for head teachers, and the development of a program for Nepali teachers, with the goal of creating a supportive environment for all children to ensure a quality education.

In November 2023, The Juniper Trust conducted its inaugural teacher training session. Led by retired UK educators Chris, Justin, and their daughter Holly, the session benefited over 30 teachers from 10 schools in the Kinja Valley. The program included fun days for the children, accompanied by the distribution of notebooks, whiteboards, pens, pencils, and other essential supplies to all 10 schools.t 2024: Raising Funds to Support Nepal Schools

Delivery of Essential Supplies to 10 Schools! 🌟

Following on from our teacher training visit in November 2023, the Juniper Trust's Nepal Quality Schools initiative has made significant progress, thanks to your incredible generosity!

We've just delivered computers, printers, and routers for internet connections to five schools we visited last year. Your donations have also provided 3,000 notebooks to ten schools, ensuring that children have the supplies they need to succeed. We're now building desks and chairs for seven classrooms at Kinja School, supporting local craftsmanship and the economy.

But our work isn't done yet! There's so much more we can do to help these children. If you'd like to make a difference, please consider donating to our Nepal Quality Schools Project. Together, we can continue to transform lives through education. 🙏

As our commitment to these schools continues, we hope to raise a further £10,000 in 2024/25 to provide more basic essentials to more schools.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous donation to the Juniper Trust. Your support is making a profound difference in the lives of children and communities in Nepal.

Your contribution helps us provide essential resources like teacher training, school libraries, and vital equipment to schools rebuilt after the devastating 2015 earthquake. Thanks to your generosity, we can continue our mission to ensure a brighter future for these children through quality education.
