Saimarang

,

Saimarang is a small village in the centre of Nepal. Pro Nepal has been helping this village to build a water main by assuring financial support. Shortly before the beginning of the construction of the water main, the government announced that it would build the water main not only for Saimarang, but even for other villages close to it. Since ProNepal was asked by the school of Saimarang for help to support the construction of a classroom containing a science laboratory.

Because there was no science laboratory available to the students in Saimarang, it was necessary for them to go to Pokhara by taking a bus or walking great distances. Due to the absence of a laboratory in the village, both teachers and students were forced to spend much time and money to attend the school in Pokhara.

In December, 2015, the village sent us a proposal for the project estimating 7.000 €. Work started after our financial support arrived in January 2016, and, in March 2016, part of the building was completed. The size of the classroom was increased, and Pro Nepal approved of what was decided. The final cost of the labour was 10.000 euro.

Project Drinking Water Supply Tipchok

,

In January 2016 Pro Nepal had the support of additional contributions in order to carry out a plan for a water supply network in the village of Tipchok – Kavrepalchok in Nepal.

Unfortunately, after the earthquake, springs dried up and the village waterworks almost disappeared. Women are forced to carry water 400 meters away from the village unless this project is completed. In August 2015 a member of Pro Nepal visited Tipchok and the people explained the situation to him.

There’s a school centre, which is supported by Pro Nepal, that needs another waterworks project to build three additional classrooms to replace the ones which were destroyed by the earthquake.

Pro Nepal asked our local partner, SEO Kathmandu, to create a proposal which would be presented to the Region.

Last News: Drinking water project Sanga: The project develops in an autonomous way.

,

According to Mrs. Jaya Rajbhandari ( Association SEO -Society of each other) from Kathmandu, the village of SANGA is developing in a positive manner. This is to reaffirm of our vice president’s impressions about Sanga during his last personal visit in 2014.

A few years ago, a new drinking water plant was built in Sanga. The project for the construction of the plant was financially supported by the ProNepal association and the local government of Bolzano, i.e. the Autonomous Province of Bolzano (year 2010).

As a result of the good water supply, many new houses and even hotels were built in the village. Also, in Sanga was built the tallest statue in the world in honor of the god Lord Shiva. Today the statue is an attraction for many tourists and locals alike.

As an extension of the existing drinking water plant, last year the local population initiated the construction of a second water tank. Furthermore, the Nepalese government has already agreed to give its financial support for the construction of a deep- well recharge, since the village’s spring discharge is going to be insufficient in the near future. There’s no immediate access to this funding, but it will be available within the next few years.
