The village of Arandu is located at an altitude of 2’800m in the Shigar Valley in Baltistan. The two classrooms, which were financed by the Swiss Sherpa Foundation, are finished and since April 2021 about 50 additional children can go to school in Arandu thanks to the new building and the financing of three additional teachers.

From March 2023 we have increased the support to 6 teachers’ salaries so that another 50 children can attend school.
