Gumila School
A Himalayan Trust school serving the villages of Sano Gumila and Thulo Gumila, rebuilt on its own ground after the 2015 earthquake.
Project details
The Himalayan Trust's school at Gumila, known today as Shree Janasewa Lower Secondary School or Gumela Community School, draws its pupils from Sanogumila, Thulogumila and Phakding. By 2016 it had 142 pupils and seven government teachers, with two more paid by Himalayan Trust Nepal to teach maths and science.
The 2015 earthquake badly damaged its buildings, on a site a geotechnical engineer brought in by the Trust agreed was prone to landslides. Rather than relocate, the community chose to rebuild on the same ground, using the land behind the school for new classrooms funded in the Trust's second rebuild phase in 2017.
