Dear Kandace, Charles, Penelope, Bill and Colleen, B n T, Susan and James, Judd, and Matt & Alison,

Thank you for donating a latrine to Bramhadev Ram and his family.

Bramhadev Ram lives in Rampurwa Village in rural Nepal- an area often overlooked but government and international development agencies.  In addition Bramhadev  belongs to an ethnic group that faces stark social and economic discrimination.

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 throughout Rampurwa.  The project works with the local community to define their needs and provides the organization and resources for the village to meet them.  This project also provides potential employment options for project beneficiaries like Bramhadev in the masonry and construction trades.  He may become a village maintenance worker who can help all families with construction and maintenance activities for new water supply and sanitation systems.

It is well-known that lack of proper sanitation services kills and sickens thousands of children every day.  Thanks to you,the Ram family, and especially their young daughter, can experience a healthier life and a brighter future.

Thank you for your gift!
