Nepal aid

Nepal aid

A Himalayan eight-thousander peak seems unachievable for us hikers. But the Nepalese people probably feel the same way when they look at the German economy. In terms of gross domestic product per capita, Germany ranks 5th and Nepal 91st in the world. Figuratively speaking, the difference is equivalent to the distance from the jungle-covered foothills of the Himalayas to Mount Everest’s icy summit. In supporting Nepalhilfe Beilngries we hope to demonstrate that we all bear responsibility for the regions we travel to. The nation has been very hospitable to us mountaineers and trekkers, and provided us with its fabulous landscape to enjoy. And we want to pay its people back.

Deuter donates E-bus to home for disabled people

Deuter donates E-bus to home for disabled people

In 2024, Manfred Lindner from Nepalhilfe Beilngries approached deuter with a request to support the purchase of a school bus for the care home for children and young people with disabilities in Lhubu, Nepal. Transportation had been a major challenge for many families, as only a few owned a vehicle.

With a donation of 30,000€ spread over three years, deuter made it possible in early 2025 to purchase an 11-seater electric school bus and cover the annual operating costs. This ensures reliable daily transport to the day care facility – a great relief for the affected families and an important support for the institution.

Education for Chharka: A Passive Solar House Makes It Possible

Education for Chharka: A Passive Solar House Makes It Possible

In July 2022, deuter launched a new school project in Nepal. For three years, we committed to supporting a school initiative in Chharka, located in the Dolpo region, with an annual contribution of €10,000. In addition to helping finance the school buildings, our support also covered essential items needed for teaching and day-to-day school operations, such as pens, paper, and learning materials.

After three years of construction, the passive solar school building was completed in September 2023. It now enables year-round education for 60 children aged 5 to 13 — primarily from Chharka and the surrounding villages. Due to the extreme cold, school had previously only been possible for about seven months of the year. This has significantly improved educational opportunities for the children of the region.

AROUND THE DOLPO REGION

Dolpo is a remote and high-altitude region in northwestern Nepal, bordering Tibet, with no roads connecting it to the rest of the country. The village of Chharka lies at an elevation of 4,300 meters. Although it is only about 159 kilometers from Kathmandu, the lack of infrastructure means it takes a full day by jeep to reach. For nearly two years, Nepalhilfe Beilngries had been planning and financing the construction of a highly efficient low-energy school building tailored to the region’s harsh conditions — including challenging infrastructure and material sourcing. Transporting construction materials required the use of animals like donkeys and buffaloes, as the terrain is rugged and can only be crossed on footpaths at high elevations of over 4,000 meters.

Shanti Nikunja Lower Secondary School Kathmandu – Deuter Schule 

Shanti Nikunja Lower Secondary School Kathmandu – Deuter Schule 

With the help of deuter, the Shanti Nikunja School in Kathmandu was newly built in 2013. At the start we donated about 30,000 € for the construction of the building as well as 300 school backpacks and pencil cases.

Since then, the locals sometimes talk about the "deuter school" in the heart of Kathmandu. An e-learning center for learning foreign languages was also set up with our financial support.

Living conditions in Nepal can only get better if education, healthcare and sanitation are improved. And the standard of living can only be raised from within the country itself. In the past, many school-age children in Nepal were denied basic education because schools were unaffordable for many, or simply too far away. Nepalhilfe’s school projects can help change that. In addition, we want to give something back to the Nepalese and the country, which is still a popular destination for many trekkers and expeditions. 

Since 2013, deuter has supported Nepalhilfe annually with financial contributions and by donating backpacks, sleeping bags, and accessories as needed. With deuter's help, the Shanti Nikunja School in Kathmandu and the passive solar school building in Chharka were newly constructed, and an e-bus was purchased for the care home for people with disabilities in Lhubu.

Projects like the new multipurpose room at the Balachandra School in Panauti were completed in July 2025. The school is now fully renovated and well equipped for the future. Another project is a day care center for people with physical and mental disabilities in Lubhu, which was inaugurated in early summer 2021.
