The Upreti family now has a latrine

Thank you for coming together to provide a latrine for the Upreti family.

The Upreti family lives in Rampurwa Village in rural Nepal.  Homnath Upreti is the head of the family, and though the family has lived together for several generations, this is the first time that anyone in their family has access to proper sanitation facilities.

The Rampurwa Village in located in an area seldom reached by other development programs or government programs.   The Living Earth Institute has been changing that for the Upreti family by working together with a local NGO, Development Alternative Organization (Bikas Bikalpa Sanstha), to drastically improve sanitation facilities and health awareness in this rural village.  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 creates such a positive impact on this family’s health and livelihood that is beyond what can be easily explained or understood.  Today this family can experience a healthier life because of to you.

Thank you for your gift!
