Past Project:
❖ School Building (Shed Structure) Construction in Gorkha District, Nepal
Name of the school: Triveni High School
Completed in 2016
❖ Introduction:
Triveni High School building, located in Mirkot village of Gorkha District in Nepal, was heavily damaged during the earthquakes of 2015, rendering it unsafe for occupancy. A small building (shed structure) was built at the site using a fund provided by “Build For Education,” a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation registered in California, USA.
The structure built by “Build For Education” is simply a shed structure – currently being used by the school to teach kindergarten students.
