Although the project was occasionally daunting, the Juniper Trust persevered with the invaluable help of local volunteers and the communities themselves. As news of their good work spread, many other villages approached the Trust for assistance in rebuilding their own schools. The Trust remained committed to its Nepal Earthquake appeal and set an ambitious target of rebuilding 10 more schools by 2020, making a total of 20 schools rebuilt by that year.

Thanks to the generosity of many donors and the continued dedication of volunteers in Nepal, The Juniper Trust rebuilt a further 7 schools before work came to a halt due to the Covid pandemic in spring 2020. However, the resilience of the Nepalese people shone through, and as soon as it was safe to do so, they resumed work on the remaining schools. In December 2021, the 18th school, Bampti Kindergarten, was completed, and Maili school was successfully rebuilt in 2022 with the help of the first western volunteers to return to Nepal since the pandemic.
