Homes & Schools Rebuilt
Supported reconstruction of private houses and community schools after the 2015 earthquake using locally produced earthquake-resistant CSEB bricks. A larger school with eight classrooms was later completed with government support.
💧
Reliable Water Supply
Restored and expanded village water storage to a total of 70,000 litres, ending the post-earthquake water crisis for approximately 200 households and introducing a water-meter system.
📚
Adult Literacy & Library
Established the first community library in the rural municipality and run an ongoing Adult Literacy Program that has enabled dozens of women to learn to read, write and gain practical life skills.
🐐
Livelihood Programs
Goat farming, knitting and a community savings cooperative give families concrete ways to earn, save and invest in education and health while using local resources.
How change happens
Our impact comes from projects that are designed and owned by the community. Local people identify needs, help shape solutions, and run the day-to-day activities. External support is used to provide capital, training and technical assistance so that results last.
Education and skills
The Adult Literacy Program has given women who never attended school the ability to read, write and support their children’s learning. The community library provides a shared space for reading and preserving local culture. Scholarships have opened further education opportunities for young people from the village.
Income and resilience
Goat farming creates a renewable source of income that can be passed from family to family. Knitting provides seasonal earnings while keeping traditional skills alive. The savings cooperative introduces financial management and access to small loans, especially for women.
Infrastructure that serves everyone
Safe housing, functional schools and reliable water benefit the whole community. These foundations make other development efforts more effective and durable.
