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.

With these 2 houses, the programme to rebuild sustainable earthquake-resistant houses is now complete; 14 houses have been built and a team has been trained in earthquake-resistant construction techniques.

Construction of the last 2 houses has been completed.

Anuvam participated in the financing of this programme, with the help of the CDC Développement Solidaire. The village leaders (Asherman and other members of the municipality) determined the number of houses and chose the families to be allocated.

During the same period, another team from the Dudhkoshi Organic Agro Multipurpose Company built the henhouse, which required a great deal of digging.

The first hens have been welcomed… For the young chicks, another building has been constructed in real masonry for better thermal conditions, and it will also provide ‘offices’ on the first floor.

The water mill was also installed in the purpose-built building. This too is a fine masonry structure. The millstone is in place and the first grinds have been produced.
Anuvam supports this choice of agricultural development and remains attentive to the needs and projects of this team to ensure the self-sufficiency of the village.
