Story

We are 13 year old twin sisters, Sharvi and Shaivi. We are hiking several trails in the UAE to raise money for The Shree Jagdishwor School (SJS) in Bimal Nagar, Nepal.

Shree Jagdishwor School is in desperate need of reparation. Situated on the main Kathmandu-Pokhara Highway, this primary school has requested support from local government and NGOs for more than 10 years, and has been overlooked. There are 123 students (69 girls and 54 boys), and 12 teachers. 10 of the teachers are funded by the local government and 2 by the local community.

The existing 2 storey building has 4 dark, damp rooms but the focal concern is a crumbly brick staircase. The building is more than 25 years old and simply isn't earthquake proof. The Dubai College Foundation project with Pahar Trust aims to demolish this building and replace it with a 6 room, 2 storey building.

Building commenced in October 2022 and will take up to 9 months. The estimated costs for this project are $67,000.

We are inviting family and friends to sponsor our hikes with a donation, any amount will help children in need greatly. All proceeds go to Shree Jagdishwor School Nepal.

Thank you for all your support!

Sharvi & Shaivi
