The now defunct Jyugal school building which was badly damaged during the earthquake in Chautara, Sindhupalchowk, Nepal on 29 June 2015. One of its students, Aastha (6) was buried under the rubble together with her mother but Aastha survived while her mother died on the spot. As their father Ratna Baniya (28) cannot care for the three young children on his own, SOS Childrens Villages has since been supporting the grandmother with financial and social support so that she can manage to raise the children comfortably and ensure that they will all be schooled.
