Miyamoto Relief provided engineering services as an in-kind donation toward this school reconstruction project led by the Government of Nepal through the Ministry of Education and a charitable organization, Round Table Nepal, which raised funds for the repair and retrofitting of the school building.
Built in 2004 to serve 300+ students in the Nuwakot area of Nepal, the Shila Devi School was red-tagged—deemed too damaged to occupy—as a result of the devastating 2015 earthquakes in Nepal.
Miyamoto’s role in this project was to support in a detailed damage assessment, retrofit design and occasional supervision on construction. The work was completed in 2016 and the students now attend a safe school.
