Imagine...
… not having running water in your home.
​… having to walk 2 hours down a mountain, to the river, and back up carrying that water.

… going to school and there is no water tap to wash or get a drink. 


Imagine...
... being at school all day and there is no toilet to use.
... imagine living in a village where there are no toilets.
​

Imagine....
... going to school one day and seeing that the school has slid off the side of the mountain!
... a classroom with a roof so leaky that all of the children have to huddle in the corner to stay dry!
... having to walk 2 hours to school and and 2 hours home, because there is no access to school in your own village!

Namaste
WE ARE STILL HERE! …. and we hope you are still here with us.
Betty, Terri, David ,Salina, Karin and I have not stopped communicating with our friends in Nepal and supporting their work during the pandemic.

It has been a frustrating couple of years, not knowing how our Nepalese friends would cope with the pandemic.. We left Nepal in February 2020, after a visit to see our friends and projects. We have not been able to return in person as yet. Babulal and his crew have been steadily working away in the villages, as the threat of Covid was less in the villages. We are happy to report that our NSP crew and their families are all healthy.

During this time however, we have depleted our funds and need your support more than ever. Our ideal budget in one year is to send $100,000.00 CDN to Nepal to spend on projects.
In 2019/20 we were able to send $100,000.00 CDN.  In 2021/22 were able to send $50,000.00. We are hoping to send at least $30,000 in 2022/23 for new projects. Our money goes a long way in Nepal, however, the coffers are dwindling and there is still so much work to do.

WE NEED YOUR Support. Click here to donate.

The easiest way to contribute is online. Currently, we are not anticipating face to face gatherings.…SO…. Please contribute to our Mothers Day Fundraising Campaign and help us to continue our work assisting the children of Nepal by:
1. Providing clean water to drink,
2. Developing sanitation systems and
3. Building infrastructure for education.

I am happy to report that all projects, for this working year, are now complete. We are in the process of planning for the next round of projects in the villages. Our people are able to work in the villages from September to May. Monsoons in the summer months make it too treacherous to work. Landslides and flooding are a real danger then.

​
Great NEWS from The USA……..


Our NSP USA affiliate has been able to support the completion of 2 significant projects. One was a wash (water system) including 100m of pipeline, 2 latrines and 1 tap. The second included 1,000m of pipeline, 1 small cistern, 2 latrines and 1 tap. Congratulations!

They also welcome two new faces to their board: Tarranum Kholi and Supriya Sharma…. both well qualified to assist in moving NSP USA forward. We look forward to working with you both.

A New Scholarship Fund
One of our Nepali students, Kunsang Tamang, who we have supported through elementary and secondary school, has completed his secondary education. Hurrah Kunsang. He has applied to an Australian college and has been accepted into a program to train as a chef. Kunsang, the son of Sancheman Tamang, a valued long time employee of NSP Nepal, will be starting this program in May. We are very excited for him and so proud. Thank you to Oscar and Jenny Signoretti for their generous donation to kick off our new Graduate Scholarship fund which will assist Kunsang with his expenses. The fund raised $6000.00 and will help to launch Kunsang on his way. We wish him great success.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us in the past and particularly over the last two years. Please visit the website to read more. http://www.nepalschoolprojects.ca/
We look forward to hearing from you.

Happy Mothers Day.
Gratefully

Water...
and how it gets to a village....
We need to capture water from mountain springs, dig trenches, bury pipes, build cisterns in the villages, and connect pipes to taps. The families will now have running water in the village and in some cases at their home. It is an amazing feat. Everyone's life improves once water is in the village. Many help to get the work done. You can help too by donating to NSP.

Visiting the Villages in February 2020

Where did the Year go?
​In February, March of 2020, a group of us were able to go to Nepal to visit some of the villages. These are some brief comments from our, “first time” travelers:
Liam: ”Sometimes the schools do not even have a blackboard or learning tools. Sometimes, the drinking well and latrine are shared by the whole village”
Mary: ”It was very clear to me upon entering the village just how critical the school was to the whole village. It served as the central hub of the village and more often than not, had the only latrine and fresh well water, to service the entire village.  These simple but critical elements were a complete game changer for these isolated villages.”

Since receiving word that 90% of our schools were destroyed by the earthquake, NSP's focus is infrastructure development. Your donation will go directly toward the re-building of much needed schools in the Kaavre district! Our plan is to not only support the re-building of schools, but to research development plans that would protect future buildings from being so drastically impacted by natural disasters, such as earthquakes. This will help to ensure all funds raised now support the long-term prosperity of NSP villages. Make your move today and be part of ensuring that all children in Nepal have access to an education! Donate here.

Our Mission

Help create a better quality of life for vulnerable populations in rural Nepal by gaining their full participation in the development of projects targeting certain aspects of their communities such as health, sanitation, and education.

Our Vision

Support communities in seeking solutions to problems they have identified and to provide materials and expertise in the completion of these identified projects.

Key Objectives

Partnership, Participation, Equity
Raise and allocate funds for development projects in rural Nepal. The emphasis must be on "grassroots" projects that clearly benefit the needy and underprivileged people.

Nepal School Projects was founded in 1974 to assist poor rural communities with the construction of schools. 
Since then, NSP has evolved to support and empower Nepal communities with developing their own resources.

What is Nepal School Projects?

NSP (Canada) was founded in 1974 for the purpose to assist poor rural Tamang communities of Kabhre Palanchok district with schools construction.  At that time, villages seeking education for their children first had to construct suitable premises with their own resources in order to be eligible for government appointed and paid teachers. Thus, very poor villages with no resources that were unable to construct such premises were at a disadvantage.  During NSP’s first ten years in Nepal, the organization assisted 56 villages with the construction of primary schools.  In addition to the construction of schools a hands-on vocational training program for young village adults was established.

In the fall of 1984, after meeting the educational needs of the poor rural communities in the central and northern parts of the district, NSP made an exploratory visit to the southern Mahabharat region. This region was officially considered to be a remote undeveloped area of the district - the visit was a revelation. The villages that were visited were the poorest ever encountered during NSP’s presence in Nepal. During the fall of 1985 NSP shifted development assistance to the southern Mahabharat region.

Although the initial objective was to provide assistance with school construction, NSP was receiving a large number of applications for assistance with drinking water systems. Therefore, within two years of NSP presence within the region, assistance with drinking water systems became the key development focus.

Today, NSP has broadened its focus further by responding to a wide range of community identified needs. Any community seeking NSP assistance must form a project committee with full participation of women that will be responsible for project formulation and implementation.
