🏢 About the local organisation
Organized together with Friendship Foundation Nepal (FFN) since 2015 as the post disaster projects https://www.facebook.com/walkwithnepal. Nepal was hit by a strong earthquake on 2015/04/25 where 8,700 people died, 17,000 people were injured, 500,000 houses were fully destroyed and 800,000 kids cannot go to school. FFN has projects in Banepa since 2001 where farming is the main industry, but youth are moving to urban areas searching their jobs, so aging of population is getting a serious problem. This project supports not only restoration but also making strong communities
💼 What the programme involves
Work: We will mainly support to build the community center which will be used for health care, women '¢½½s/ youth activities and possibly people living in the shelters. We may also maintain the community-forest (pruning, making side ditch, etc.) and the school road and help to reconstruct the elementary school.
Study: Post disaster rehabilitation. Bring some info.!
