PHARMACY Catalyst, the banner group of independent pharmacies formed by pharmacy training and marketing company instigo, has partnered with the Australian Himalayan Foundation (AHF) to build a new Catalyst School in Nepal and help provide equipment and classroom amenities in the community of Basa Khali.
Basa Khali was ravaged in an earthquake recently, which devastated a number of mountain villages, damaging buildings including the the Basa Khali Secondary School.
Through various donations and fundraising initiatives such as sausage sizzles, raffles and donation tins, instigo and its Catalyst Members have raised funds to help rebuild a school building, four toilet blocks and several water tanks.
Pharmacy Catalyst manager, Nicole Hooley said, "An initiative like this shows that community pharmacy is all about communities, wherever they may be. We are so proud of the effort all of our pharmacies have put in to make this new school happen".
