Construction & Maintenance
Thanks to the support KCE has received, the first phase of the school’s construction has been completed. The financing and realisation of the next construction phases will once again depend on the support of generous friends and students, who share Karmapa’s pioneering vision for education.
Studentʼs sponsorship
The children who are studying at KCE, come primarily from families with low income of the Himalayan region. For this reason, the school does not charge fees. All students receive free accommodation, food, medical supplies, books and further school necessities. A sponsorship of 80 Euros per month covers the costs of a student attending KCE.
Teacherʼs Salary
Make a contribution to a teacher’s salary. KCE has employed four state-qualified local teachers. The monthly salary of a qualified primary school teacher in West Bengal is between 250-500 Euros.
Childcare Educator’s Salary
Our childcare educators live with our students and are responsible to provide social, emotional, and educational assistance in their daily life. The monthly salary of an educator is about 180-200 Euros.
