New toilets and showers for Nepalese schoolgirls
International solidarityWomen rightsInternational
With 1 €,
AMTM - Assistance Médicale Toit du Monde finances:
1 schoolgirl(s) with access to new, fully-equipped sanitary facilities
Challenge
The free school that AMTM - Assistance Médicale Toit du Monde has been supporting since its creation (most schools in Nepal are fee-paying) has been open since 2001 and today welcomes 200 children aged 5 to 13. All come from Dolpo, an extremely poor region that offers no access to schooling.
The school's sanitary facilities had become totally unsanitary (see photo below), due in particular to the increase in the number of children.
While Snowland had just, thanks to a sponsor, completely renovated part of the sanitary facilities, the government has just imposed (at last) the separation of girls' and boys' sanitary facilities in Nepalese schools. But the Snowland school no longer has the means to finance further work to double them...
Solution
This funding will make it possible to build new sanitary facilities, fully equipped toilets and showers, for the 105 Snowland girls.
Recent result
AMTM - Assistance Médicale Toit du Monde has been financing numerous projects to build or rehabilitate sanitary facilities, wells, water purification systems and solar water heaters at a wide range of sites, schools, monasteries, orphanages and clinics in Nepal and India for over 30 years.
The money will be used for
- Installation of 4 toilets and 4 showers.
- Plumbing work: evacuation and connection of showers to the solar water heaters already in place.
Goal
After a few weeks' work, the school's 105 girls will be able to benefit, like the boys, from new, separate sanitary facilities.
This will greatly improve the school's hygiene conditions, and will finally offer the girls standardized, reassuring access to the school's sanitary facilities...

AMTM works with underprivileged populations in Nepal and India in three areas: Medical, Development, Sponsorship
AMTM - Assistance Médicale Toit du Monde was founded in 1992 in response to a call for help from Tibetan refugees arriving in camps in northern India and Nepal. Initially medical, the association's assistance extended to the development of health and school facilities, then to sponsorship to facilitate long-term contact and follow-up. And this support has extended to all populations encountered in the field, whatever their ethnicity, culture or religion.
In addition to a local branch, an "AMTM House" in Kathmandu, teams of volunteers travel to the field 2 or 3 times a year, for 15-day missions to visit all the sites supported by the association.

AMTM is approved by the ANSM as a "humanitarian wholesale distributor of medicines" (April 2009).

C'est en bonne voie. Les filles de l'école bénéficieront bientôt elles aussi de sanitaires neufs...Un projet qui avance...
Des nouvelles du chantier de ce projet dans la dernière Newsletter AMTM de Septembre 2023.
Les premiers dons affectés à ce projet ont permis de financer l'important travail d'assainissement des anciens locaux plus que vétustes et insalubres ainsi que le gros oeuvre.
Mais il rester encore l'électricité, une partie de la plomberie et les dernières couches de peinture à financer pour le terminer.
