In addition to construction of infrastructure for education, NJSI has been providing other forms of support to schools.
Likewise, on 29th December 2017, NJSI sponsored science lab equipments, white boards, audio-visual devices, tables and chairs for computer learning at Maha Laxmi School, Lalitpur. Similarly, Balsikshya Higher Secondary School, located at Sindhupalchowk district was provided with twenty chairs for office use. Both schools had received relief support during emergency phase of earthquake in 2015. NJSI had then supplied CGI sheets, school kits, text books, stationary, furniture, trampoline etc. The students and the school authorities happily conveyed gesture of thanks to NJSI and the sponsor, Manos Unidas.

Another women’s activity center was handed over at Khadichaur, Sindhupalchowk on 30th December 2017. The center consists of two rooms and a washroom, similar to other multipurpose centers built by NJSI. Center serves for about 100 women belonging to varied ethnic background. The center will be used for social meetings, adult education, training and community building programs. NJSI had conducted a program on para-legal activity on 22nd December 2017 at the center. 39 people had enthusiastically participated to learn about human rights, women rights, child rights and dalit rights.
In contrary to their assumption, the activity coordinators reported the women’s group to be very energetic, interactive and well aware about social issues and rights. Most of them could write their name and sign. They had previously formed several groups to initiate practice of communal saving and economic enhancement. With the formation of building, they have joined the groups to form a larger one called Chimling Bensi Mahila Samuha.
65 women participated in the handover ceremony to express their gratitude to NJSI. The center was built with the sponsorship from Xavier Network.
