Rebuilt with India aid, flood-erased Nepal school seeks help to rebuild on higher ground
TRISHULI BAZAAR, a village in Nuwakot, Nepal, was hit by a devastating flood. Principal Rajendra Dawadi of Tribhuvan Trishuli Secondary School immediately evacuated around 900 students. The school, rebuilt with aid from India after the 2015 earthquake, was completely wiped out by the flood. Dawadi fears that the school must not be rebuilt beside the river.
The flood forced around a thousand people, including students and staff, to evacuate. Thirty girls were in the residential hostel. Dawadi himself escorted them uphill. Two staff members are still missing. The school had 1,643 students and was completely destroyed in the flood. India had helped rebuild the school after the 2015 earthquake.
Students described their fear as they watched their school disappear into the floodwaters. The main challenge now is restoring connectivity in the area.
