Himali Bahira Tatha Baudhik Apangata School, located in Tallobazar, Humla, Nepal is a residential school for 53 children with hearing, speech, and autism. The students are from all over the Humla district and are from 6-17 years old and they take classes customized to each child's unique needs. The off-grid school is not connected to the national electric grid, so before solar students relied on flashlights and mobile phone lights to see at night. Tallobazar, Humla, Nepal is a remote beautiful place where nature is still intact. Its air is fresh and water rich in minerals, solar energy would mean sustainable development in the region.
In April 2025, GRID brought an off-grid battery-based solar system to the Himali Bahira Tatha Baudhik Apangata School, bringing reliable lights and AC power that students and staff can use during school and after hours in the kitchem, bathrooms and residential areas. Solar allows the school to better support its children's education and boarding needs while helping protect the natural environment. Solar powers devices and lights that provide learning technology, facilitate flexible study hours, and protect the children and property at night. With the addition of solar, the school can implement improvements such as electrical appliances for cooling, heating, cooking, and more.
