Beni School

Historical
A village school built in Solu in 1970, damaged in the 2015 earthquakes and rebuilt by the Trust the following year.

Project details

Beni School was built by the Himalayan Trust in 1970 in the Solu village of Beni, with new classrooms added in 1986. It is known today as Beni Basic School, Beni, and should not be confused with a separate, related school of the same name in nearby Salabesi village.

The 1970 building was damaged in the 2015 earthquakes badly enough that it became one of seven schools chosen for the first year of the Trust's REDSS rebuild programme, with construction starting in April 2016 and the new building handed over in February 2017. Nearby, Beni Basic School, Salabesi, still receives stationery and teacher-training support from the Trust today, for 15 students as of the 2025/26 school year.
