About this project

Lucie Wagner from Hochschule Anhalt in Kooperation mit Mirador e.V. is responsible for this project
The Sharada Basic School in Shahipur in the south-western part of Nepal is one of the few basic educational opportunities for children of poor families and the many orphans in the region. 

Unfortunately, one of the school's building complexes is in need of renovation. The few classrooms are not designed for the current number of pupils and up to 60 children are taught in one room.

Furthermore, the school urgently needs a room for science lessons! Recently, materials for physics, biology and chemistry lessons were donated - unfortunately, these cannot be accommodated in the current rooms and are therefore not used. 

Together with the Parents' Council, the school's headmaster Sanu Tamang is campaigning to provide the school with a new building complex that will both reduce class sizes and create space for science lessons.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Dessau has been carrying out development projects with its students for many years, in cooperation with its partner association Mirador e.V. which was founded by former students. 

A particularly motivated group of students has come together for the urgently needed school extension in Nepal. 

Twenty students of architecture and design would like to support the Sharada Basic School with the planning, design and construction of a new building complex. It will contain several classrooms and a suitable room for science lessons. Special emphasis is to be placed on sustainable construction and local building materials - in addition, construction in Nepal must always be earthquake-proof. 

We are currently in the research phase of the project. A small group will soon travel to Nepal and carry out a survey. In the meantime, other members of the group are busy looking for financing possibilities and first drafts. In winter 2024/25, the entire student group will travel to Nepal to implement the building project in four months. 

With your donation, you will help us to equip Sharada Basic School with a new building complex and to create a suitable learning environment for children and teachers in Shahipur again.

You will help us students not only to actively support the people in Shahipu, but also to grow culturally from this experience! The opportunity to apply our acquired knowledge in hands-on construction will empower us into our professional lives!
