Over the last year, EQUIP has been exploring the opportunity to expand our programme to West Rukum District. Human Development and Community Services already has a strong presence in Rukum through their work in the local hospital. Last year EQUIP submitted a proposal to Samaritan’s Purse Germany for funding for the Nepali academic year April 2021 - March 2022. We now have clearance to begin work in Chaurjahari.
In September, Dil traveled to Chaurjahari with a representative from EduTech, the organisation we are working with in Lamjung, for a school inspection and discussion with the mayor about plans to set up the first ICT lab in one of the schools.
In December, EduTech, Basic School Nakhira and EQUIP signed a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding for a new computer lab to be set up in the school.
“We are excited to equip teachers in such a remote area with 21st century skills.”
This lab will provide hope and opportunities to the children, families and the local community.
It will also help teachers and students with ICT education and enhance learning of other subjects too. We are excited about this opportunity to equip teachers in such a remote area with 21st century skills.
