At Butterfly Help Project, we believe that appointing new teachers is a key step toward improving the quality of education.

As Elizabeth Warren said:

“A good education is a foundation for a better future.”

After constructing three schools in Leptung, Palep, and Adhamara and closely examining the education systems in these areas, we came to a realization — a well-built school alone does not ensure quality education. That’s why we made the decision to appoint teachers through the Butterfly Help Project to enhance learning outcomes in these schools.

Why did we appoint new teachers?

In the 2015 earthquake, over 6,000 schools were destroyed across Nepal, including those in Leptung, Palep, and Adhamara. All these are government schools managed by local authorities. While we successfully rebuilt them and handed them back to the respective local school management committees, we noticed that some schools — especially in Palep and Adhamara — continued to face challenges in delivering quality education. One key reason was the lack of effective school management and limited teaching staff.

Since our direct involvement in the government school administration was restricted, we decided to privately appoint teachers through Butterfly Help Project to fill this gap. Our aim was to support the students in catching up on their studies, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic had disrupted their learning for more than one and a half years, with no access to online classes.

We began by appointing two teachers in Palep and Adhamara Primary Schools to improve the educational standards and help students make up for lost time.

Building on our commitment to holistic education, we have now extended our support to Lungthung Hostel, not only by appointing teachers but also by adding essential hostel staff.

We realized that providing quality education does not stop at constructing classrooms or appointing teachers alone — especially in remote areas where students live away from home in hostels. These children also need proper care, a nurturing environment, and nutritious meals to stay healthy, focused, and motivated.

Therefore, in addition to appointing teachers, we have also brought in caregivers to look after the students’ daily needs and overall well-being, ensuring they feel safe, supported, and emotionally cared for. Alongside them, we have appointed cooks who are responsible for preparing and serving nutritious meals, which are essential for the students’ physical health and academic focus. This combined support system is vital in creating a healthy and nurturing hostel environment where children can thrive both academically and personally.

Through these initiatives, Butterfly Help Project continues to invest not only in education but in the overall lives and futures of children in rural Nepal.
