Bringing a school back to its former glory

Shree Basic School at Madi, Chitwan was built over twenty years ago in 2001.

A Trailwalker Legacy

The original school build was made possible through the incredible fundraising efforts of Trailwalker participants. Through the years has withstood monsoons, landslides and earthquakes, but the wear and tear was starting to show with cracks in the walls and damp seeping in.

Bringing the School Back to Life

This year we undertook a Major Refurbishment project to bring the school back to its former glory.

Once the cracks were repaired and the damp walls had been treated and dried, each classroom underwent a fresh coat of paint.

The children, parents and staff of the school have conveyed their sincere thanks to the GWT for their continued support and dedication to providing a safe and comfortable place to learn.
