School progress, thanks to Ubuntu Foundation & Innocents Relief

Posted on February 12, 2023 by Angus Mccoll - news bites

Generosity abounds with the Ubuntu Life Foundation and Innocents Relief – a AUD$25,000 donation.
We are very pleased to share with you the news that Batase School has completed their Building Upgrade Project. The project grew as a result of a ‘limited’ gift from the Nepalese Government. In 2019 Sujan Tamang won a AUD$50,000 grant for the addition of this building at Batase School. The grant money was very controlled and building specifications had to be followed exactly as set out by the government. While the money was gratefully received, the building could not be completed as required, with provided funds.

Help came from the Ubuntu Foundation. Their donation to Innocents Relief (who wonderfully passed it on to Batase School) allowed the school building to be completed. The new building is home to new classrooms, a computer lab, a science lab and a new Headmaster’s Office. Once again, the project provided employment for community members, much needed space at the school, and community pride.

The Ubuntu donation also included development of a Waste Management System at the school. Colour coded bins have been installed to encourage recycling and rubbish disposal. The final project, tree planting and creating a green space for the school area, will take place later in the year when the rains come.
We would like to thank Ubuntu Foundation for their generous donation as well as Innocents Relief for choosing Batase School for this wonderful gift.
