No distance is too far and no mountain is too high! CPET has built a secondary school with six classrooms in Chepuwa, a village that is situated in the Himalayas at an altitude of 2200 meters and close to the Tibetan border.
WHY HAS CPET STARTED THIS PROJECT?
The living conditions of the mountain people in Chepuwa are very poor. Chepuwa is a very authentic and protected village. Before 2009, there was no road leading to the village, so tourists were unable to reach it. You can only get to Chepuwa through mountain paths that lead through rice terraces.
The closest school for the children in Chepuwa was situated in Khandbari. They had to walk for four to six days to get to the school and they had to stay in CPET Hostel for an entire year. We were able to change this by building this new school.
We have not started any child sponsorships in Chepuwa, because the village is very difficult to reach. This way, we cannot guarantee that the child sponsorships are properly managed.
WHAT HAS CPET DONE IN THE PAST?
Within a couple of months, CPET has built a complete primary school with six classrooms. This solid building is now run by the villagers.
We work together with the local community and use local materials to support the local economy and create jobs.
