Project Synopsis

Situated in the village of Chiruwa, Syangja, the Barah Guthi School is home to 32 local children from around the village. Some of the school structure including the water tank was partly damaged by the 2015 earthquakes.


Over the next three years, the University of Canberra will be carrying out various projects at the School and in the local community where the focus will be to improve the education and health outcomes of the children and people in the village.


As part of the current year program, the students will help with the cleaning of the pre-school nursery room, painting the room (undercoat and top coat), design a mural for the head painter to paint, create some posters that could be put up in the room, identify and arrange for some kits/educational resources for the children, and assist with the set-up of the room.


University of Canberra students will also do some cleaning around the toilet block and school to make it safer and more hygienic. Together we will look at ways to encourage hand washing after using the toilet through the provision of water, installation of taps and access to soap.


To help the school children futher, the University of Canberra students will also contribute books suitalbe for up to 5 years old.
