Summary of the Rapcha project

Five earthquake-resistant houses have been built in the village of Rapcha in Nepal, in two phases (winter 2020 and winter 2021), on budget and on schedule, despite the uncertainties and constraints associated with the health crisis.

A sixth house, initially intended for a family that has since benefited from local aid, was not built, but as a replacement, the mayor wisely proposed supporting the village’s agricultural development for the benefit of the entire community. The construction of a new water mill to process local cereals thus helped to reinforce the economic objective of this project.

Projects in Rapcha, March 2021

Despite the pandemic and traffic restrictions, life goes on at Rapcha and projects are coming to fruition.

After the Tihar festival (15-17 November), the now highly qualified team of masons and carpenters went back to work to build the 2 houses for the families of Ramesh Rai and Satra Bahadur Rai.

Our friends Jase and Yadav were able to organise the site, supervise the work and draw up a comprehensive report.

Anuvam letter, january 2022

On the threshold of 2022, I’d like to take this opportunity, along with all the members of the Board, to wish you all the best for the future, so that you can enjoy everything that’s close to your hearts. We hope that solidarity and friendship will be the dominant values of this new year (it is not forbidden to dream).

In a context where serenity is far from being the order of the day, let’s remain positive and motivated for all our actions that put exchanges between human beings at the forefront.

Letter from ANUVAM – october 2020

General Meeting on 3 and 4 October 2020 in Brousse (63)

General information on Nepal and Rapcha

Due to the health crisis, the trips scheduled for 2020 have been cancelled. This has deprived the association of elements of observation, understanding or verification of this field mission that could have informed our decisions.

There is a climate of uncertainty in Nepal, which has repercussions on development and sponsorship policies. Economic and social life is very disrupted. The political situation is currently stable.

Health crisis: Nepal: 84,000 cases of Covid and 500 deaths to date. Tourism has collapsed. Nepalese who had emigrated to India were chased back to Nepal and not welcomed because they were likely to carry the virus. Rapcha is isolated and, for the time being, unaffected, and does not want to receive visitors from outside.

The pandemic has revealed Nepal’s dependence on India, particularly in terms of agriculture. There is a growing desire to revitalise local agriculture.

–Climate crisis: very heavy monsoon, resulting in landslides and crop damage.
