📝 Detailed information
🏢 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 Daman since 2012 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. Then, 98% of the houses were damaged by the earthquake, so we are also afraid of villagersâ mental health.
💼 What the programme involves
Reconstructing the community center, mental-care of the children in the school by playing and
sporting together and education of disaster prevention. Through communicating with villagers, this
project supports the challenges of villagersâ community which confront damages of the earthquake.
Study: Post disaster rehabilitation. Bring some info.!
