Schuluniformen, warme Kleidung und Schulmaterialien bedeuten für bedürftige Kinder viel, aber nicht alles. Ein Grund für uns von Back to Life, warum wir auch Schulen aus- und aufbauen, Sanitäranlagen errichten, Klassenräume ausstatten, Bibliotheken einrichten und Lehrer weiterbilden. Denn eines steht fest: Bildung ist wichtig! Aber auch emotionale Erziehung spielt eine große Rolle. Unser Einsatz dafür: Spielplätze. Erster! Rupkala, eine Erstklässlerin, ist morgens schon fertig für die Schule, bevor das Frühstück bereitet ist. Aber erst, seit es den Spielplatz an der Schule gibt. „Ich...

Back to Life richtet ein Schülerlabor ein Die Thakaltar-Schule in Chitwan bietet Unterricht vom Kindergarten bis zur 10. Klasse und bald bis zum Abitur an. Das ist eine Seltenheit in einer ländlichen, armen Gegend wie dieser und bedarf deshalb besonderer Unterstützung. Back to Life ist ein langjähriger Partner der Thakaltar-Schule. Wir arbeiten dort seit 2015 und haben die Transformation von einer schlecht ausgestatteten, von den Erdbeben 2015 zerstörten Dorfschule zu einer der besten ländlichen Schulen im Distrikt zusammen mit der Gemeinde vorangetrieben. Im März war es an der Zeit,...

School building is a focus of our project work in Nepal. We aim to create new grades where there is a lack of secondary schools. Back to Life already turned to the school in Thakaltar (Chitwan) after the earthquake in 2015, as they could no longer use part of the building for school lessons due to the damage. We added a large, two-story building with … classrooms to the two smaller, undamaged buildings. Built earthquake-proof and equipped with tables, benches and monitors to enable modern and effective teaching. At that time, 292 students attended the school, the only one far and wide...

Back to Life has been supporting the Janajyoti School in the Chitwan District, near the Chitwan National Park in southern Nepal, since 2010. The school is located in a village that is characterized by deep poverty. The Chepang people who live there are among the poorest minorities in Nepal. That is why we support the families with, for example, scholarships for school children, school meals, health care, access to clean energy and income generation. In 2016 Back to Life rebuilt and equipped an earthquake-proof school building with two classrooms, which was previously destroyed by the severe...

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE – ADULT ALPHABETIZATION We are improving the school and learning conditions for over 4500 schoolchildren in Nepal. But we don’t want to stop there, we also want to take care of the literacy of adults in remote areas. According to the “Nepal Human Rights Year Book 2019” (INSEC), the literacy rate in Mugu is only 51.25 percent. This includes all school children, which means that the adult illiteracy rate is significantly higher. But how do you go about giving the already hard-working adults extra hours of learning? First, we set up a varied program to...

A teacher in Nepal is respected in the village but earns little. In the remote areas in particular, teachers are often not well trained, not only professionally, but also pedagogically. They also have no access to the latest teaching materials. Back to Life carries out targeted training courses for teachers in Mugu, Chitwan and Nuwakot. We will introduce you to optimized teaching methods and show you various options for interesting and informative lesson design. Action plans are drawn up together, which you can implement directly in your own lessons. The preparation of descriptive teaching...

We have equipped the rooms with blackboards, posters, writing pads and play materials for early childhood education. Learning is fun this way. We pay particular attention to practicing the important...

The best day in life … sometimes has to be prevented When a wedding takes place in Nepal, it is a big celebration. Even if it is actually a sad day for child brides, which usually ends their chances of a better life from now on. But we are more and more successful through our educational work.

Education is one of our central development topics and the basis for a self-determined life. That is why we promote literacy in our project areas beyond the normal curriculum. We have now set up 30 libraries in 30 schools: 5 in Chitwan, 6 in Nuwakot, 19 in Mugu. More than 3,500 children have access to books every year. We were also able to equip a community library for the adults in the village of Loharbada in Mugu. We have provided more than 7,000 books in total. We have founded reading clubs in our project schools so that students can deepen their reading skills after class. After the official...

“ because I always felt as if I were blind. “ When we expanded our project radius in Mugu to the communities Seri, Kalai and Rara and their neighboring villages from 2011 onwards, we found that most adults – as in many parts of Mugu – were illiterate. 1202 people over 15 years lived in the mentioned villages and their surroundings. 918 of them could neither read nor write. In an area where most of the school-age children did not attend school, our main focus was initially on being able to offer a larger number of children a regular school education. To this end, we...
