It is a big change for the students of grade 10 who can now further benefit from their physics lessons with a good practise of physics experiments. Before, students were unable to learn and understand the theoritical lessons without having the necessary tools, not to mention a physics room! Thus, they were not be able to prepare for the School Leaving Certificate diploma. We are now happy to announce that Ek Pahila Foundation has provided the necessary equipments and tools to perform the physics experiments. One room has been dedicated and set up for the conduction of the experiments. The tools and materials...

Construction of new school desks special for children Ek Pahila was able to finance the construction of new school desks for a class that had terrible conditions. The desks were designed in a arc-shaped manor to allow the children of the 3 classes to focus all their attention on the teacher. Below, carpenters accurately cut boards of wood for the arc-shaped school desks. The boards are then assembled in one of the school's classes, and are ready for use. The children enjoy using their new desks

School desks for 4th grade and 5th grade students Thanks to a grant received from "La Fondation Solucom", Ek Pahila Foundation was able to finance and supervise over the fabrication of 15 new school desks for the 4th and 5th grade students. Ek Pahila goes ahead with its initiative at the Kali Devi School, with the upcoming construction of a staircase; that will allow the children to move easily between buildings.

For their third project, Ek Pahila collaborated and worked closely with the school of deaf children in Katmandou. The school was founded by the nepali doctor L.N Prasad and his american wife Suzan Hermannan in 1966. Today, the school opens its doors to 445 children, aged between 3 and 20 years old, sorted into a wide range of classes; from learning sign language to degree courses. This video will provide you with a general insight into the school, and it will allow you to view its educational environment.

2 water tanks and 2 taps connected together via a simple pipeline now provide water to 177 students and 11 staff members at Kali Devi School. For many years, the school constantly faced water shortages due to the lack of a water storage facility and the absence of proper water distribution pipelines. Now, the students and teachers have complete access to water during school time. The two tanks combined can stored 1500 liters of water, while the taps ensure that water is used most efficiently and not wasted. A small initiative such as this can bring about a big positive...
