In the aftermath of Nepal’s devastating earthquake, many educational institutions in Dolakha were severely damaged or destroyed. But from this destruction, Ek Artha Foundation saw an opportunity to rebuild not just structures, but dreams and futures.
More Than Just Books and Shelves
With an emphasis on community development and access to knowledge, we built a library that serves as much more than a collection of books. Our library provides children and communities with a wide range of resources, services, and educational support.
A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.
Our Guiding Philosophy: “Library as Platform Beyond Class”
We constructed this library for the Government School of Nepal in Dolakha with a powerful motto: “Library as Platform Beyond Class”. This philosophy recognizes that learning extends far beyond traditional classroom boundaries.
The Heart of Our Mission
The Ek Artha Foundation acknowledges that a school library’s mission is to ensure that all members of the school community have proper access to books and learning resources. This access is crucial for improving knowledge and abilities across all areas of learning.
Beyond Textbooks – A Vital Community Resource
Our library serves as:
- The focal point for school-related materials – centralizing educational resources
- A resource hub for students and staff – supporting both academic and personal development
- A community gathering space – fostering connections and collaborative learning
- A bridge to the digital world – providing access to modern learning tools
Building for the Future
By serving as the focal point for school-related materials and going beyond textbooks, our library has become a vital resource that supports the entire community’s development. It’s not just about rebuilding what was lost – it’s about creating something better, more inclusive, and more comprehensive.
Our Commitment Continues
Ek Artha Foundation’s efforts to establish and support the school library in Dolakha demonstrate our unwavering commitment to:
- Promoting quality education for all
- Fostering sustainable community development
- Creating lasting opportunities for learning and growth
- Building resilient educational infrastructure
