Dharmendra’s family now has access to sanitaion

Dhamendra Chaudary lives in Rampurwa Village in rural Nepal.  He and his family are of the indigenous Tharu comunity from an area often overlooked by traditional aid organizations.  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 Rampurwa.  The project works with the local community to define their needs and provides the organization and resources for the village to meet them.  Lack of proper sanitation facilities have long been understood as the largest negative impact on public health.

Your donation has ensured that Dharmendra and his family now have a latrine. The positive impact of your gift to their health and livelihood is beyond what can be easily explained or understood.  During  the course of construction of the latrine, Dharmendra expressed an interest in the process, and is now training with the project construction team with the objective of becoming a community technician.

Thank you for your gift of good health and livelihood to Dharmendra and his family.
