Two massive earthquakes ravaged Nepal within 17 days of each other last year, killing 9,000 people and demolishing at least half a million homes. The quakes also destroyed some 35,000 classrooms, leaving almost 1 million children without access to education.
Nepal is slowly picking up the pieces, and its children are still struggling to go to school. A new video, which global children’s charity Theirworld shot in February and released Thursday, shows the country’s shoddy makeshift schools and the treacherous journeys that children undertake to get to them.
