IRC partner AAR is building 25 temporary learning centers to replace earthquake-damaged schools in four villages in Nepal. Thousands of children in remote communities will soon be able to resume their education in safe classrooms.
On April 25 a powerful earthquake shook Nepal, killing more than 8,800 people and demolishing over 600,000 homes in one of the world's poorest nations. With their schools damaged or destroyed, more than a million students have been unable to return to class since the disaster struck.
