Education has given many of us the opportunities to lead a better quality life and attain
our goals. However, for thousands of Nepali children, education remains a distant dream
- due to poverty, caste, gender discrimination and lack of access to schools. The quality
education remains the most important tool towards the realization of rights of all children.
Why Libraries?
Books of all kinds play a critical role in a child’s development. Unfortunately in Nepal,
most children do not have access to books beyond basic school textbooks. Children’s
books are a luxury to have in Nepal and are a rarity in many government schools, orphan
houses and community centers. Having fun educational books available helps to
encourage independent learning, intellectual curiosity, and a lifelong passion for reading.
Project “One District – One Library”
Project “One District - One Library” is a literacy program with a goal to make 75 Child
Friendly libraries in 75 districts of Nepal by providing 75,000 books to benefit more than
100,000 school going children. This program is initiated by Solidarity Nepal, a non-
profitable and social welfare organization dedicated for social transformation in Nepal,
open to all persons regardless of race, color, creed, gender or political preference.
“One District - One Library” means 75 book libraries in 75 districts of Nepal. Through
the success of our pilot phase program conducted at Shree Dhaulagiri Primary School in
Baglung, Solidarity Nepal is confident to meet the campaign target by 2017 as this
program is highly recognized, participated and supported by medias, colleges, corporate
houses, youth agencies, government, political figures, NGOs, local organizations and
local people. The “One District - One Library” Project’s goal is to put books in the hands
of eager kids throughout Nepal.
We believe that every single person can make a difference through "One District - One
Library" campaign. The library project provides a wide range of English and local
language children's books including history, science, short stories, fairy tales, books for
very young readers, children's dictionaries, children's reference books, and an assortment
of comic books.

Goal
The goal of this project is to assist all students in becoming good writers, active readers,
creative thinkers, and resourceful learners by providing them innovative books. The
books are a gift to each student to use at school and at home for years to come.
Vision
With the support of local and international sponsor, we want to make 75 child friendly
libraries in 75 districts of Nepal by providing 75,000 books to benefit more than 100,000
school going children.
About the project site
This time Solidarity Nepal has selected Shree Janajyoti Primary School, as a project site.
The project is expected to benefit about 200 students of SJPS & up to 5000 local
community members in the remote village of Gulmi district. We hope to educate both
students and the greater community in this campaign. So, we purposed a library
consisting of at least 1,000 children books & 200 dictionaries.
Shree Janajyoti Primary School is located at Bishukharka, Ward No-8, in Bhangyang
village. The school was established in 2041 BS and was founded by the different
members of the village community with around 2.2 hector of land. The school has got
classes running from 1 to 5 with a separate kinder garden section.
