Chatturale Village, Nepal

Chatturale Village which lies in the hilly remote area is only accessed by a two hour plus walk to reach the main road where one can then catch local transport. The village people there are mostly from the Tamang family being a backward ethnic group here in Nepal.
Their main occupation is agriculture and as such each home has chickens, goats and at least two buffalo.
Chatturale Village does have a road which has recently been developed to enable vehicles such as trucks to pass by occasionally in order to supply their daily needs.
The local people there are very much united and helpful to each other and therefore aware of their village, school and any financial assistance that arrives for the village.
They have also chosen certain people to accept duty as president, treasurer so any budget for project work can be looked after. However, equal participation and acceptance was needed to conduct any type of work as without equal participation and acceptance the villages do not accept any work.
Due to this MSH was reassured that the budget which was provided by MSH would not be miss-used by the villlage people.
Now due to trust having been established between MSH and Chatturale village, during the last visit the people requested MSH for further project work to be undertaken.
This next projects involve the following:

1) Supplying 3 stretchers to aid in the transportation of any sick person from the village to the main road. This is due to the poor access as when any member from the village gets sick there is no other way to transport the sick person other than carry to the top of the hill for treatment.

2) Furniture for the local Brahamini school which is currently operating without any proper furniture.

MSH believes that both these projects are worth supporting.

Hi Razoo,

It is so good to see that the blog is active.

How much money do we need to raise to get the three stretchers and furniture for Chatturale village?

I am so proud of all your hard work. You are doing such an amazing job.

I am doing my best to raise funds.. I am meeting with a lady from a company called Marsala Marsala next week and I hope she might be able to help the projects.

With love
