The April 2015 earthquake destroyed 88% of the houses in the Nuwakot district of Nepal. In a mountain village near Jirethum, “ 35 kilo,” Hope for Nepal is rebuilding homes destroyed in the quake, with a grant from GlobalGiving.
The Tributaries mental health team was here in September, training local service providers. Some of the participants were among those rebuilding, and they showed us their new homes.
Each family was able to choose between a basic, two-room house and a house with two stories, with the lower level for keeping animals or supplies. In most cases, the family receiving the home also contributed funds and labor to complete the work.
Seven homes are now finished, with three more still under construction in this village. Other homes scattered around the area have been repaired as well.
THANK YOU for your generous support of rebuilding efforts in Nepal!
