Happy news! The nuns’ prayers are answered! Thanks to the generosity of some donors, this big job is fully funded. We will report back as soon as possible.

Imagine if all the pipes in and around your home were leaking and you had to replace them.

This is the shocking situation facing the nuns at Shugsep Nunnery and Institute.

The underground water pipes installed during construction in 2008 have become severely corroded, are leaking, and causing dampness in the nuns’ rooms.

The nuns at Shugsep are trying to repair the leaking pipe themselves but need outside help.

The nuns and the Khenpo (abbot) have been trying to solve the problem themselves. They have been digging up the pipes in various places to try to fix them. Sadly, they have discovered that even replacing broken union joints is impossible because of the corroded pipes. They need your help!

Nuns are working hard to access and repair the pipes, but it’s a massive job. The plumbing throughout the nunnery must be replaced with good-quality PVC pipes.

In light of these problems, there is no choice but to replace the pipe system throughout the nunnery with good-quality PVC pipes. To do this big plumbing job, they need to hire outside people. To complete the supply line to the overhead tank, the work must be done by an experienced plumber and outside workers.

The total cost is $12,000.

In the meantime, the nuns are trying to find solutions to keep the plumbing system running smoothly but they need your help. Learn more and donate here.

Your gift will:
1. Provide good-quality PVC pipes with unions, bends, and sockets
2. Pay for plumbing labour costs
3. Fund the excavation and the repair of paving where necessary
4. Repair the plumbing in the teachers’ section and guesthouse

The Shugsep nuns held a special puja to pray for help with their leaking pipes and plumbing issues.
