This dilapidated school is located in Mugu, one of the most remote areas of Nepal. The old and fragile infrastructure makes this school very dangerous, it could collapse over the students’ heads at any time. During the rainy season, most of the classrooms are flooded. The classes are also dark and cold, with children sitting on the freezing stone floors during lessons. In addition, the school does not have enough space, some children have to be taught outside in all weather conditions.

Our partner association, the non-profit organization FRIZZEY LIGHT, came across the dilapidated school during one of its annual aid tours, and Frizzey Greif and Christine Jarosch, the initiators of the association, decided to help immediately due to the unacceptable conditions of the building.

Frizzey Greif writes: “After countless events, from film presentations at schools to benefit events, media appeals, through the trust of friends, members, companies, artists, supporters and much more, Frizzey & Christine have managed to raise the necessary funds for the 2 schools, Frizzey Light School & Blind Hostel in Mugu. Frizzey and Christine run the Frizzey Light Association on a voluntary and transparent basis with their own independent committee. All aid projects since 1997 are documented on films to “promote humanitarian awareness”. Info: www.frizzey-light.org“

The largest part of the funds therefore comes from Tyrol, a small part is contributed by Chay Ya Austria and the local government. With the help of Chay Ya Nepal, the local government and the local partner HIRYSDEC, a school building with four classrooms is now being constructed. This building will serve 76 students from kindergarten to fifth grade.
