Ambassador of Japan to Nepal Kikuta Yutaka signed a grant contract with president of NPO Nepal Volunteer Social Service Lakpa Nurbu Sherpa for building new classrooms in Sankhuwasabha District.
The signing ceremony was held at the Embassy of Japan in Kathmandu today, according to a press note issued by the Japanese Embassy in Kathmandu. “The project is funded under the Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP) of the Japanese government and involves a grant of $185,971 (approximately Rs 23.2 million),” the press note reads, adding that tt is aimed to enhance the educational environment by constructing eleven classrooms. “This project will help students who previously had to study in deteriorated school buildings.”
Shree Himalaya Secondary School was established in 1960, and nowadays more than 380 students study at this school. The condition of the current school buildings is unsafe as there are cracks in the wall and leaks in the roof. These dangerous and worn-out classrooms cause difficulties for students to focus on their studies. The project will be managed by NPO Nepal Volunteer Social Service.
The Embassy of Japan in Kathmandu said that it believes the project will provide a safe and pleasant learning environment for students and will improve the students’ quality of education. “We hope that this assistance to the educational institute will further enhance the friendship between the peoples of Japan and Nepal now and for future generations, the Embassy added.
