Project Background
The school currently operates from a four-story building that accommodates classrooms, dormitories, kitchen, and dining facilities, serving students from diverse ethnic minority communities across Kathmandu Valley and other districts of Nepal. Both students and teachers reside on campus, fostering a close-knit learning environment centered on discipline, spiritual growth, and the study of religious texts. While this path nurtures intellectual and moral development, there is a clear need to support the physical well-being of the students through structured recreational activities. To address this gap, COMMITTED is working on the development of a multi-purpose sports facility within the school’s existing open space. The plan includes installing basketball boards, and adaptable volleyball and badminton nets, along with marked courts for multiple sports. Indoor table tennis facilities and board games such as chess will also be added to ensure year-round physical activity. This initiative aims to promote balanced development by integrating regular sports into students’ daily routines.
