Supervision of the Kailsh Hostel Phuntsokling
In July our board member Mr. Karma Gongyü visited the Kailash hostel to get a firsthand impression of the situation on site. During his stay he spoke with students, staff, teachers, and parents to directly initiate potential improvements. The feedback expressed great satisfaction and gratitude for the positive development of the hostel. The improved facilities and their impact on academic performance were particularly highlighted.
The well-being of the children and the responsible use of the donations of our sponsors remain our top priorities. Thanks to the continued support the hostel has been strategically expanded and now offers the children an environment that they consider as a home.
Budget for 2026
Also in India the cost of living is rising dramatically. Due to the parents limited financial means our association has decided to continue to cover the costs of running the hostel in full. The budget for the coming year is estimated at CHF 38,000.
Infarstructure Improvements at the Kailash Hostel
This year we implemented several infrastructure improvements. Our goal was to sustainably enhance the safety, comfort, and well-being of our students, thereby creating a solid foundation for their personal and schooling development:
Installation of Streetlights: The dormitory areas were previously poorly lit in the evenings, raising safety concerns for the children, especially when walking home after evening activities.The new streetlights now provide well-lit pathways, significantly increasing safety and a sense of security.
Purchase of Tables: Previously the children had to study and eat on the ground, which was uncomfortable and did not promote focused work or hygienic eating. The new tables create a structured and ergonomic environment that allows for better concentration while studying as well as greater comfort and hygiene during meals.
Roof Renovation in the Boys' Dormitory: The boys' sleeping was previously insufficiently protected from the intense summer heat. The installation of corrugated metal roofs significantly lowers the room temperature, creating a cooler and more comfortable living environment. The new roof also provides a space for drying laundry. Previously, access to the roof was difficult and unsafe due to the unstable existing staircase. With the construction of new stable roof access stairs, children and employees can now use the roof safely and comfortably.
