Subject: About working in collaboration
To the Chairman, ANUVAM, France.
In this regard, ANUVAM has been helping Mapya Dudhkoshi Rural Municipality Ward No. 2 (Ward No. 7, 8 and 9 of former Basa VDC) Rapchha for the past many years in various sectors such as education, health, and building development infrastructures.
I hope the association continues this support to Rapchha in the coming days.
This was the fourth year of ANUVAM’s Earthquake Resistant House Construction Project. So far six families have already benefitted from this project and for this year; the year of 2018-2019, three more families were going to get benefitted from it.
Excellent turnout at the General Meeting, a healthy financial position enabling us to commit to new projects, and a positive 2017/2018 business report all reflect the energy that drives our association. We reached a major milestone in March 2018, providing funding for a sixth house for a disadvantaged family in the village, rebuilt using earthquake-resistant, local materials developed by our technical partner CAPA.
The two mega earthquakes in April and May of 2015 have shaken the whole of Nepal and made colossal damages throughout the country. Reconstruction began after the strong aftershock on May and ANUVAM decided to help in the process.
To begin with six families were chosen from Rapchha who were/are in dire situation either financially or from family situation perspective. The houses of the chosen families were damaged severely during the earthquake and most of them were unable to build a new house on their own due to their very week financial status. Some of them were single parents and many of them had more than four dependent children.
This particular trip was taken by current ANUVAM Chair Evelyne PICHENOT and Member Monique BOUTRAND accompanied by FEILSS Chair Pancha Kumar RAI and Secretary Yadav Kumar RAI. FEILSS treasurer Jase Rai was partially present during this trip.
During the stay in Rapchha, many meetings have been attended and below is the summery of the important meetings.
