Construction – UWS Nepal https://uwsnepal.org Mon, 28 Aug 2023 08:14:04 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7 Construction And WASH https://uwsnepal.org/uwsconstruction/ Thu, 24 Aug 2023 03:52:56 +0000 https://uwsnepal.org/?p=22593 UWS Nepal builds safe and robust school infrastructure in remote communities. We have constructed 72 earthquake-resistant child-friendly schools that include school buildings, gender-friendly universal access WASH facilities, and playgrounds in impoverished areas of Nepal.

UWS Construction model boasts its community participatory approach in which locally available material and human resources are capitalized during the construction process. Our schools are reinforced concrete framed single-story buildings with brick walls and CGI roofs. The number of classrooms in a school varies from 6 to 12 based on the need of the particular community.

Building and Grounds – Key Standards

  1. The school building is in good condition and is being properly maintained.
  2. The school toilets/WASH are in good condition and properly maintained.
  3. The school grounds are in good condition and secure, with appropriate play areas for children.
  4. There are no visible health and safety concerns at the school.
  5. Buildings and grounds are safe, inclusive, and accessible to all (UWS Inclusion policy).
  6. Buildings and grounds are run and maintained with the minimum possible environmental footprint.
