Despite being affected by winter every year, this year the lives of the families in the Sindhupalchowk district have become difficult because of the massive landslide erupted from a fragile landmass, weakened by the 2015 earthquake and its powerful aftershocks. Therefore, this project will distribute 1 warm blanket and 1 jacket to 200 children affected by the landslide in the Sindhupalchok district. These children are currently living in tents as their homes have been destroyed by landslides.
The landslide, which occurred on Aug 16 2020 in the district's Jugal Rural Municipality, fully damaged 37 houses and partially damaged more than 100 houses in Lidi village. They are currently living in temporary tents.Temperature is on a decreasing trend and it will gradually increase. Homes have been destroyed and families are facing problems. On top of that, small children are at risk of catching a cold and suffer from cold-related diseases such as pneumonia and respiratory problems.
Our aim is to reach out to the suffering children as quickly as possible so that there will be no more complications and frustration amongst children of affected households. So, we will distribute warm blankets and warm winter jackets to children who are living in temporary tents and are facing this cold wave of winter.
This project will provide warm blankets (fiber quilt) and warm winter jackets to 200 children to survive the cold wave of winter, which will somehow prevent them to get caught from cold-related diseases pneumonia, respiratory problems, and the common cold.
