“Our good days are coming…!” That’s what people here said when they learned they were getting houses.
For over a year now, since two powerful earthquakes shook Nepal, people in the Nuwakat area have been living in makeshift shelters. They’ve used materials salvaged from their destroyed homes, and whatever else they could find to protect themselves through winter and the monsoons.
“People are trying their best to cover themselves with what they have, but that is not even meeting their basic needs.” says Mohan Raj Bhatt, National Program Coordinator for Hope for Nepal.
After delays from the fuel shortage and some technical difficulties, Hope for Nepal has begun to rebuild homes for ten families. Many others are still waiting.
In addition to houses, Hope for Nepal has been able to provide some counseling for quake victims, who are still suffering from the psychological trauma of the quakes.
THANK YOU for your generous support of rebuilding efforts in Nepal!
