  • Lumbini Girls' School, Nepal
    Lumbini Girls’ School, Nepal Reporting period: May 1, 2017 – September 30, 2017 Prepared by: Gaurav Pradhan and Deanna Boulard Organization: Real Medicine Foundation Nepal (www.realmedicinefoundation.org) Project title: Lumbini Girls’ School Project location: Lumbini Sanskritik, Rupandehi District, Lumbini Zone, Nepal Students walking past bricks for the new school building May–September 2017 Real Medicine Foundation 11700 National Blvd., Suite 234 Los Angeles, CA 90064 +1.310.820.4502 1 Background Lumbini is 205 km west of the capital city, Kathmandu, and has the lowest female literacy rate in Nepal, at just 18%. Issues such as the marriage of girls before age 12, parents’ reluctance to have their girls in school with boys after puberty, the dowry system, and restriction of women’s decision-making all play a role in suppressing the rights and potential of women in the region. On a larger scale, discrimination and lack of education for women contribute to Lumbini’s struggle with severe malnutrition, lack of medical care, and high infant and maternal mortality rates. Karuna Girls’ School is working to change these statistics by providing education for girls from grades 6–12, as well as vocational training for underprivileged girls and women in Lumbini. Since this is an all-girls school, parents are more willing to allow their daughters to attend, and Karuna Girls’ School has gained some popularity in the region. During the course of 2016, the school grew from serving 150 students to 186 students. The curriculum emphasizes reading, writing, computer literacy, health, hygiene, nutrition, and family planning, while vocational training includes courses in computer literacy and tailoring.
