We are so delighted to share these images of the recently completed kitchen and dining room at the hostel for girls attending Nyoma Middle School in the remote Changthang Plain of Ladakh. This project was generously funded by TFWA Care. Toilets and washing facilities were also donated by the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council.

These new facilities allow 50 girls from nomadic tribes to stay on site so that they can receive an education and the support needed to help break the cycle of extreme poverty in this area.

Like most of our projects in Ladakh, this energy efficient construction was built by local labourers using local, natural materials, following the ancient Passive Solar Design also known as the Rammed Earth Technique.
