A School for Malagiri is a charity that is supporting the construction of a new school in Malagiri, Nepal, for local children aged 3 to 8. Many young children in this rural area do not receive an education and are in urgent need of schooling.
The charity was started as a fund raising project within the School of Education and is led by senior lecturer, Kevin Fossey. The project is also supported by Kevin’s colleague and friend, Pema Dorjee who is a Tibetan monk and educationalist.
As the School of Education celebrates ‘A Century of Learning’; we wish to raise the profile of this important project and seek support from as many individuals and organisations as possible.
