NHHO signed the contract with Japanese Embassy of Nepal of The Project for Drinking Water Using River Water and Rain water Harvesting(RWH). The contract was signed and exchanged on 18th of March 2014 at the Embassy of Japan in Kathmandu between His Excellency Mr. Masashi OGAWA, Ambassador of Japan to Nepal, and Mr. Ram Chandra Kaphle, Chairman, Nepalese Humanitarian Help Organisation.
This project will provide safe water stability to 713 households, which is 4,278 people, and it is expected to mitigate diseases caused by unsanitary water and to reduce working hours of women and children by reducing the time they spend fetching water.
After the completion of the project, it will provide safe drinking water for the people in Ward numbers 7, 8 and 9 of Chyangli VDC, Gorkha District. This area, due to the geo-structure, is very dry and it is difficult to access to water.
