The main goal of Karunamaya foundation is to develop education in rural communities in Nepal. After the devastating earthquake that struck Nepal on April 2015, we decided to bring our help providing infrastructure to public schools and training to their teachers. Our goal is to have a socio-economic impact in Nepal helping children and young people to grow up and acquire independency by facilitating them access to basic education and personal development.
Ours is a selfless involvement aimed to touch the heart by providing services. “With a Difference to Make a Difference”

Rebuild a school in Makaising. A Beautiful Dream.
Gorkha, this is the place where we are building our beautiful dream. Along with the reconstruction of Shree Prajawasti Primary School we aim to create as school system that could be a model for children from other Nepalese communities. Together with the locals, we are working to foster the development of this Chepang community.
Our project has different phases.
The first phase involved the reconstruction of a primary public school at Makaising, Bardada Gorkha. The construction of the Shree Praswati school started on January 6th 2016.
Despite the challenges and obstacles met during the reconstruction work, this first phase is almost completed. The school already hosts 120 children which have been studying there even when the school was not finished yet. These children belong to the indigenous Chepang Community. The Chepang people have often been characterized as the poorest of Nepal’s poor, belonging to the lowest caste in Nepal system.
