Rampura village receives another family latrine

Lack of proper sanitation facilities have long been understood as the largest negative impact on public health.  The Living Earth Institute has been working together with a local NGO, Development Alternative Organization (Bikas Bikalpa Sanstha), to drastically improve sanitation facilities and health awareness in the rural Rampurwa Village located in a district of Nepal seldom reached by other development programs.  Ethnically, the beneficiaries are comprised of Tharu, an indigenous Terai community, and the Dalits, often called “untouchables”, who face stark social and economic discrimination.

Neil, because of your donation, Chandra Jyoti Chaudary and her daughter now have a family toilet.  The positive impact to their health and livelihood is so great cannot be easily explained or understood.  Today Chandra and her daughter can experience a brighter future because of to you.

Thank you for your gift!
