Help Build Essential Toilet Facilities at Marylebone Biratnagar Jwala Cricket Ground, Nepal
Two years ago, the Marylebone Biratnagar Jwala Cricket Ground was nothing more than open fields. Thanks to investment from the MCC Foundation as part of the Cricket 4 Equality project, it has been transformed into a thriving two-ground venue that now hosts school matches, Hub tournaments, and community cricket as part of our collaboration with the Nepal Cricket Foundation.
Most recently, it welcomed teams for the Koshi Cup, a softball tournament introducing new schools to the game. Every evening, it serves as the heart of community coaching, giving local boys and girls the opportunity to train, play, and grow through cricket.
But there is one essential facility missing: toilets.
We are raising funds to build new toilet blocks at the ground, ensuring that every player, coach, and spectator has access to clean, safe, and hygienic facilities. These toilets will be constructed using traditional, environmentally friendly materials while incorporating running water and full handwashing stations - a necessity for girls’ participation, community events, and player welfare.
We have already seen the impact of improved sanitation through the Cricket Without Boundaries-supported renovation at PaBi School Ground in Rajbiraj. There, new facilities have transformed access to clean and safe toilets, particularly for girls in the community. Now, we want to bring that same change to the Marylebone Biratnagar Jwala Cricket Ground.
Join us in making this vital project a reality! Every donation brings us one step closer to ensuring that cricket remains a sport for everyone in this community.
