We've built a primary school in a Tamang village in Ramche, a rural area in the mountains of Nepal.

The Shree Santi Primary School teaches 74 children, divided into three kindergarten and first grade classes. We're providing ongoing early childhood education training for all of our teachers; our youngest teacher, Subhadra, is finishing 12th grade and will receive special training later this year.

Subhadra, who is a Dalit or untouchable, is an inspiring young woman who represents the goals of the Santi School Project: education for women and minority groups. Every morning, Subhadra wakes up at 5, walks down the mountain to her secondary school in Barabise, and then walks 90 minutes back up the mountain to greet the children at our school when it opens at 10:30.

The Santi School Project chose its name from the Sanskrit word for peace.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, so all donations are tax deductible.
