Be the Change for Jalpa Devi School!
Weβre working to raise $18,000 NZD (~$10,300 USD) to rebuild the bathroom facilities at Jalpa Devi School, located in remote Kakani.
As youβll see, the current bathrooms do not provide the privacy and sanitation that 300 young students desperately need. Our new school bathrooms will offer essential resources for girls, including handwashing stations, to de-stigmatize menstruation and encourage school attendance with confidence and dignity. With your generosity, we can create a safe, clean, and functional space for both girls and boysβ ensuring a better and healthier learning environment. β€οΈ
