About Program
This program, also known as The Solukhumbu University Girls Hostel project, is aimed at building a six-room hostel to house 20 girls attending university in the Solukhumbu (Everest) Region. The hostel will be built using the environmentally-friendly and earthquake-resistant earthbag building method and will house 20 girls from remote villages in the Solukhumbu Region who have graduated from grade 12 and desire to continue their educations at the local university in Salleri, the only university in the entire region. Volunteers will work daily at the project site to build the hostel by performing the myriad tasks related to earthbag construction, such as tying bags, making gravel, filling bags, stacking walls, etc.
