OUR SISTER SCHOOL: Langhathali Youth Club​
Gandaki, Nepal​

Students at Oakland Technical High School decided to choose Bajhakot (Langhathali Youth Club), located in Gandaki, Nepal, as their benefiting sister school.

Currently, Bajhakot (Langhathali Youth Club) lacks access to a reliable on-site source of water. The school currently relies on intermittent spring water or contaminated water from their local river.  They are also unable to hold safe drinking water from Nepal’s wet season into the dry season and must order trucks to deliver river water or simply go without it.  Neither water sources are filtered and due to the region’s agricultural focus, there are often parasites and bacteria detrimental to students’ health.  

Gravity Water and Oakland Technical High School are working together to bring a 9,000 liter Gravity Water system to the school, which will provide them with a free, reliable, and daily source of safe water that is on-site and meets U.S. EPA-rated standards.  

Every $8 donated provides one child with safe drinking water.

​Oakland Technical High School's Clean Water Impact To Date

2021 Clean Water Campaign
Oakland Technical High School’s 2021 Campaign brought clean drinking water to Bajhakot (Langhathali Youth Club), a school located in Syangja District of Nepal. Without access to clean water, Bajhakot (Langhathali Youth Club) was dependent on contaminated water from a local river. Often the school could not afford to order trucks to deliver river water, so they simply go without it for all 450 students. 

Through support from the 2021 Oakland Technical High School fundraiser Campaign, Gravity Water worked with Bajhakot (Langhathali Youth Club) and the Syangja District of Nepal to install a rainwater harvesting system, which is providing the entire school of 450 students with a daily source of safe drinking water.
