Nepal Rising - Seattle

Rebuilding and Resilience as follows:

Rebuilding: School Reconstruction
Nepal Rising Seattle is partnering with Volunteer Nepal National Group (VolNepal) in rebuilding demolished schools in quake-hit Nuwakot district working in collaboration with the local community and governing bodies. VolNepal is a Nepal based non-profit organization that has been doing incredible work since 2005 and has been focusing its efforts on rebuilding schools and communities that have been impacted by the earthquake. We currently have two schools construction projects in progress - Neel Saraswoti Lower Secondary School and Sita Secondary School. Resilience: Community Farming
We are partnering with N-Agro to support community farming with the Sakchyam: Seeds of Life initiative to provide greenhouses, improved seeds and farming technology to yield more than 1.5 tonnes of vegetables harvests in a year to improve food security and nutrition to earthquake-impacted families. We currently have two community farming projects in progress - Suryamati VDC, Nuwakot and Dakshinkali VDC. Resilience: Women Entrepreneurship
Nepal Rising Seattle is supporting women entrepreneurs to help expand their businesses and create bigger economic ripple effects across their communities. We are partnering with NR affiliate Daayitwa in the Women Rural Entrepreneurship Acceleration Project (WREAP) in Palpa. Resilience: Community Development
Nepal Rising Seattle is partnering with Living Earth Institute (LEI) to provide clean water wells and build family toilets in rural communities in Bara district. LEI has already built over 600 family toilets in Rampurwa VDC in Bara and declared it open-defecation free (ODF). It is a true statement that without sanitation, there can be no clean water! Relief: Medication and Winterization
Nepal Rising Seattle supports communities in times of severe need and to build resilience. During the medical crisis due to the blockade in early 2016, we provided essential medical supplies to several remote districts of Nepal through partnership with Medication for Nepal group. We also partner with One Suitcase campaign to distribute winter clothing to needy children. Please visit our website at http://nepalrising.org/seattle for more information and updates.
