Lifted from Despair
To date, we are rebuilding in 4 villages some 93 houses with more than half being completed and many families living in their new housing.
We are also planning to rebuild in another 4 villages targeting to return housing security to 100 additional households.
Your contribution to rebuild homes in the project is actually helping many families to rebuild their lives. Owning and living in safe homes again has lifted many families from despair. Confidence has returned to their human spirit of a better tomorrow. Together with you, thank you for giving us this privileged work in making a real difference to humanity who are in need.

Budhimaya Tumshing Magar lives with her son, Binod (not in photo) and daughter-in-law in Budhakani Village. Since their house was destroyed by the earthquake, the family has been living in a tent shelter. Budhimaya has long term illness. Though Binod earns enough just to make ends meet, he is very thankful to have a safe house to live with his mother.
Kuldip Rana Magar age 59, (not in photo) though still hard working and energetic, could not imagine how he would ever rebuild and live in a safe house by his mere earning from farming work. So Kuldip is truly grateful for the help and support to enable him to provide for his mother, wife and son a proper house to live as a normal family.

We have gathered about SGD 600,000 thus far from family and friends like you. We need another SGD 400,000 to provide a quake-resistant wall-system house for a total of 300 needy beneficiaries in Phase 2 of Rebuilding.
