Lustrum of the Amsterdams Lyceum

In collaboration with the Amsterdam Lyceum and its students, we will be working towards the fundraising activities in the second week of January. During project days, Mayans and the mentors of the Amsterdams lyceum will discuss various topics such as education in Nepal, international citizenship and social inequality with all the students. They will also come up with fundraising activities and try to raise as much money as possible!

For this special occasion we have developed an information package about Maya and the lustrum projects. You can download it here! More information will be online soon on our website.

The students of the Amsterdam Lyceum are going to fundraise for the following sub-projects to improve the education and living environment of our students. Three specific projects have been selected for the Lustrum of Het Amsterdams Lyceum. These projects are for the 80 students who live in Maya Home.

Study room
The students of Maya Home do not have a suitable study space and currently use the canteen as a study space. At the moment there are no walls there, so the room quickly becomes dirty and cold. We would like to offer students a study space where they can come together safely and cleanly to learn, study and inspire.

Hygiene
At the moment the students share two toilets, one urinal and there is one separate toilet for girls only. The 35 girls are getting older and we would like to provide them with an extra toilet for privacy and hygiene. In addition to the extra toilets, there will be a sink with running water.

Hostels
Some students now sleep in a room with 15 others. This space can now only be used with bunk beds. This makes it difficult for students to find a place where they can relax and experience privacy. With this project we are making four new clean dormitories. Rooms for 4 students each, where each has its own bed and closet space. Each sleeping area is equipped with fans and a rain barrel to store water.
