| Description | ||||
| The project aims to improve the livelihoods of poor rural populations of Ramechhap District by providing water, sanitation services, and low-smoke cooking technologies. World Neighbours Canada and its local partner, Tamakoshi Sewa Samiti, provide families with gravity-flow water systems to deliver clean water year-round through public tap stands, domestic toilets, and smokeless domestic cooking stoves to reduce in-house smoke emission and overall fuel consumption. The project applies an approach that makes effective use of local resources and includes community involvement as a key element. The project provides materials and technical support for the project components' implementation. It includes local contribution of materials, such as sand and gravel, and labour, to build effective low cost water, sanitation and cooking facilities. | ||||
