| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. Para 1.20 The Rinchen Zangpo Society for Spiti Development is an Indian registered charity that has more than 894 young students receiving their education under its care. Aid for Himalayan Education (AfHE) in 2021 contributed to their educational programme as follows: Children’s Educational Expenses: AfHE made contributions towards the educational expenses of more than fifty children and young people belonging to financially disadvantaged families from Spiti or neighbouring areas receiving their education in Spiti or elsewhere under the care of the Rinchen Zangpo Society for Spiti Development. In the short term these children can thereby realize their educational potential much to a greater extent than would be possible by other means in Spiti Valley. When adult they, or some of them, can contribute to the welfare of their society in significant ways. For instance, before the Rinchen Zangpo Society began its educational programme, no child educated in Spiti had ever become a doctor and such government posts in Spiti remained vacant for lack of anyone willing from outside or qualified from within Spiti to fill them. Now there are four doctors occupying government posts in Spiti who were all educated at Rinchen Zangpo Society schools. They have been in the front line in successfully containing or preventing the spread of Covid-19 in Spiti in the last two years. AfHE also made contributions that covered cost the installation and construction of ‘solar- passive’ improvements for the Senior Girls’ Hostel at Munsel-ling School. The latter improvements take advantage of Spiti’s bright sunshine to provide warm spaces for study and other activities in spite of chill outside temperatures [high-altitude] and with reduced use of carbon based fuels. Another infrastructure improvement funded by Aid for Himalayan Education was for a set of boys and girls toilets at Kaza school, Spiti. Funds committed prior to 2021 but work completed in 2021. Delays in doing the work were due to Covid-19 restrictions in 2020. Note that it is too cold to do outside construction work in winter. The building season is from April/May to October/November. There were other general donations directed towards improving educational provision in Spiti. Aid for Himlayan Education raised this money and sent it to Spiti. Two other small donations went towards educational expenses of disadvantaged children in Kathmandu, Nepal and a Tibetan monk studying in exile at Dreupung Monastery, Karnataka State, India. Communications: Aid for Himalayan Education maintained the Rinchen Zangpo Society for Spiti Development’s website and composed and edited its newsletter. |
