The Library Location

The Library Location in Nepal

Written by fernanda Frighetto on 24. June 2022. Posted in Nepal, Process, Prozess.

We visited many places in Nepal and ended up choosing Khoramukh. This is a beautiful village located in the rural municipality of Machhapuchchhre, where the Mardi trekking trail also passes by. The closest big city is Pokhara, which is 20 km and about 45 minutes drive away.

The Building

The already existing community building is large enough for our project and does not incur any rental costs. The community wants to use the lower floor as a library and the upper floor as a meeting room. They will renovate the smaller, gray building for the computer room and also provide the infrastructure for the children’s area.

In the lower floor of the light yellow building will be the library.

After the renovation this will be the computer lab.

On this side the children’s area will be added.

The future library room

The Community

We conducted a baseline survey of the community’s need and interest in a library. They showed great interest and also emphasized the need for a computer room in their village.

Many teenagers we interviewed said that they spend their free time on mobile phones, but if there were a library, they would have a more meaningful after-school entertainment. In addition, the school libraries in the area are in poor condition and are therefore no longer used.
