A school building in Bajhang that was damaged by the earthquake has been reconstructed with the help of Japanese citizens. The building of Sunipal Chaur Secondary School located in Jayaprithvi Municipality-7 Suweda was rebuilt with the personal help of Japanese citizen Lily.

 The newly constructed two-storey, four-storey concrete building and three-storey toilet have been constructed to be earthquake-resistant, disabled-friendly, student-friendly and child-friendly. Pragatisheel Yuva Samaj, a local non-governmental organization, has informed that the construction of the school building cost 76 lakh 82 thousand 414 rupees and 12 lakh 94 thousand 249 rupees for the construction of toilets.

The principal of the school, Bishnu Bhakta Joshi, said that after the earthquake on 16th October 2080, 15 classrooms in the three buildings of the school were damaged, they had to teach on the terrace. It was not heard to teach during rain and wind in the tin roof. It used to be very miserable in summer and winter too," said Joshi. "After the construction of the new building and toilet, we are relieved."

The female students here are more happy that a female-friendly toilet has also been constructed. ``It was a big problem when the toilets used by male and female students were the same,'' said student Ayusa Subedi, ``now there are separate toilets for female students. It has also become easier to change pads during menstruation. Ramesh KC, the president of Pragatisheel Yuva Samaj, an organization coordinating the construction of schools, said that schools should pay attention to the preservation and maintenance of the handed over structures.
