The school, which lies in Pyangaun, 14km south of Kathmandu, the capital, was damaged by the 2015 earthquakes in the country.
ActionAid’s challenge was to raise just over £100,000 to fund the rebuild, a target which the group of 26 volunteers beat easily and now they are ready to start the rebuild project.
Eleven of the volunteers are from Guernsey, two from Jersey, with the rest from the UK.
All have funded the cost of their trip, so that every penny they have raised over the past 12 months has gone directly to the school.
ActionAid Guernsey chairman, Natalie Tucker, said: ‘The team has worked incredibly hard this past year, and we are very excited to go to Nepal and see first-hand the difference that local fundraising can make in communities less fortunate than our own.
‘The team have organised lots of fundraising events over the past year, including quiz nights, car boot sales, flag days, office dress down days and bake sales. We’ve even had one of our volunteers, Deputy Al Brouard, shaving off his 30-year-old moustache.’
