Karkineta was affected by an earthquake in 2015.. It damaged public high school in Karkineta, Nepal. Karkineta is a village in remote mountains in western Nepal. The Nepal Government does not have sustainable funds to rebuild their educational institutions. Poor Nepali communities and families experience educational, economic, and social disadvantages without these recovery efforts.

Education investments will help Karkineta improve as a society. Today, attending school children are first-generation students from upper and lower castes family, diverse social status, and classes are equal gender. I have seen first-hand how the positive impact educational programs such as adult education, community micro finance, and free education for lower caste children helps Karkineta. Good Education at the public school teaches the importance of personal hygiene, family planning, and overall higher quality of life.
