Om Belay is on a mission, Climbing for Community. While in the Nepal Himalayas in 2014, we'd like to build a new school or school housing in Namche Bazaar, at the foot of the trek to Mt Everest.
In 1995 there were only 25 students attending classes led by 1 teacher. Due to the increasingly positive view on education, the primary school is now host to 8 teachers and 136 students aged 3 1/2 to 11. These children come from all areas of the Khumbu region, some from as far away as Pangboche, a 5 hour walk.
The parents of students have to pay 400-600 rupees ($4.36 - $6.55 AUD) a month for education costs as well as clothing the children in a standard uniform. While this may seem affordable to us, it is unfortunately too expensive for many local families.
The average wage in Nepal is $130 AUD a YEAR.
Help us raise money to build a new schoolroom or housing for these children! Any monies left over after the building will be put in a locally controlled trust to sponsor kid's tuition fees and school supplies.
