Success Story

The Bright Future School has become one of the best schools in the whole of Nepal.

All students to date have passed the state exams with good or very good results respectively.

All school leavers have been accepted to university studies, professional education or have found a job.

The Current Situation

The school is located on a very busy road which is currently being widened.
Due to this construction work, a large part of the building will be lost.

The school building is rented and the rental company will not provide another building.
In order to maintain the operation of the school it is an absolute necessity to construct a new school building.

What has been done up till now?

German architects have checked the detailed construction plans for the new school building and they have confirmed their feasibility.

The school bought a building plot away from the main road. The purchase, as well as a large part of the construction work, have been financed by bank credits. These loans were secured by the teachers themselves, who took out mortgages on their own private homes.

In the summer of 2009 construction work was started. Since the beginning of the year 2012 the basic shell construction has been completed.

Urgent Need for Action:

Urgent action is needed with respect to the financing of the further construction as well as equipment for the school building.

Freundeskreis Nepal e.V.

For some years now Freundeskreis Nepal e.V. has been supporting Bright Future School, mainly through school partnerships and numerous fosterships for children in need.

Freundeskreis Nepal e.V. is committed to raise further funds through donations for the financing of the new school building.
