Meera and Keshar Chaudari live in Rampurwa Village in rural Nepal. Ethnically, they are Dalits, often called “untouchables”, who face 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 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. This project also provides employement for Keshar – he is now a village maintenance worker helping all families with construction and maintenance activities for new water supply and sanitation systems.

Brad, Alice, Eric, Daniela, Leo, George, Richard, Elena, Todd & Jennie and Eddie, thanks to you, for the first time Meera and Keshar and their family have access to proper sanitation. Today the Chaudari family can experience a healthier and more prosperous life because of you.
