Nepal Earthquake

Earthquake Relief May 2015

TT and Healthabitat worked with the villagers in our project villages during May 2015, and according to the project visit report:

Immediate action – achieved by June, thanks to the village teams and donated funds

  • Shelter to get families through the wet season – June, July, August monsoon rains.
  • Restore sanitation – local water collection, storage and supply, and the safe disposal of human waste.
  • Building places for families to store, prepare and cook food.
  • Supplying personal health items – bucket, jug, towels, soap, toothbrush and paste, food preparation items, mosquito nets and bed sheets.

Action for the long term – after the monsoon time

  • Demolition of damaged houses, clearing of sites, re-using materials and preparing for rebuilding after the wet season.
  • Providing families with technical and financial support to build earthquake resistant homes.

More information regarding the earthquake and activities in the News.

In 2018 we continue to raise funds through the Nepal Rotary Village Development Project to help the villagers in their recovery.  Funds can be donated online and Australian donors will receive a tax receipt.

Fading eastern light over western NSW plains on re-entry to Sydney.

Tough visit to Nepal this time. Struggling economy, massive inflation, increasing suicide rates, fewer and fewer jobs. Small wonder the drain of young people coursing out of the country, mainly aged 18-30 years, continues to grow. On average 3-4000 per day.

Villages are emptying. Schools are closing due to falling numbers of students. Families are breaking up, leaving the parents to grow into either a lonely retirement in Nepal or face moving to another country where they are with their kids and grandkids but without their daily neighbours and local community.

It’s great to see so many beautiful Nepalese working and helping in Australia and other countries, and seeking opportunities they can’t find in their home country but the social, structural and political fracturing back in Nepal is deepening. The next few years will be very interesting.

Namaste!!🙏🏽 🙏🏽
