OWC Note: Article updated with a Photo from OWC’s 2019 trip to Nepal

As of today, Phase 2 construction has been completed at the Tri Ka school. Phase 2’s construction was an initiative funded by the Open World Cause from August 2015 to October 2016.

This announcement completes a 3 year fundraising campaign with the Tri Ka school, the Belgian organizations Edukado and Nanri, and the Open World Cause. After a year of fundraising starting in 2013, the Belgian Organization Edukado began construction on the Tri Ka school in Naraynapur, Nepal in June 2014. Three classrooms, funded by Edukado and Nanri, as well as two washrooms, funded by Open World Cause, were fully completed in the Spring of 2015.

In June of 2015, Open World Cause came to Nepal to distribute clean water to the families of every student attending the Tri Ka school and to evaluate why only 24 students were attending the new Tri Ka school, a school that could hold 75. OWC’s board of directors wanted a report on if we should move forward with our plans to construct two additional classrooms and an office if the school was lacking attendance. Our surveying identified that the lack of a school lunch program was causing problems for the families of the school, and preventing several other children from attending the Tri Ka school.

In August 2015, the Open World Cause voted to move forward with providing $12,000 for the overall construction of two new classrooms and an office for the school and fund a sustainable lunch program for the school. As of October 2016, the Tri Ka school has over 70 students enrolled to attend the school- and the lunch program is working to add nutritional ingredients to further help the children receive the education they deserve.

Construction officially completed on Phase 2 of the Tri Ka school, adding two new classrooms and an office, and we can not thank you enough for taking this journey with us.
