The Chyangba Girls’ Dormitory
Finished in February 2026 and standing just below the school campus. Twenty girls who live too far to walk now sleep here for the ten month school year, at no cost to their families.
How it was built
The girls shared floor mattresses laid side by side in one room. There was no space to store anything, nowhere to study, and they ate in shifts because the room could not hold them all at once.
The new building gives each girl her own sleeping space, her own bed and bedding, and a shared dining area big enough for everyone. There is a study room, running water, and a set of donated computers.
Who runs it
Local partners in Chyangba Village, alongside the school. The dormitory is open for the ten month school year and costs the families nothing.

The ground levelled by hand
Twenty girls used to sleep on floor mattresses laid side by side and eat in shifts. Each of them now has a bed, and they sit down to dinner together.

The school the quake took down
The schoolhouse built the year before the April 2015 earthquake destroyed it, and the reason the village rebuilt to withstand the next one.
